We recently caught up with the team from Monash Motorsport (MMS) who aredeep into their clean sheet race car build. This is all a part of the Formula Society of Automotive Engineer’s (FSAE) program which provides student’s withthe platform to design and engineer a race car and of course take it to where it belongs, the race track.
Harrop Engineering are proud supporters of the program and has teamed up with Monash Motorsport as a platinum sponsor. This sponsorship provides the team with access to not onlyworld class engineering capabilities and resources, but also mentoring from oursenior engineering team across various stages of the vehicles development process.
The MMS team consists of 70 students, who design &model the entire race car in CAD before constructing the car, testing and competing on the track. The attention to detail and innovation shown by the students mirrors that of leading automotive engineering professionals. Past students of the program are proof of this, as they have gone on to become key contributors in Red Bull’s Formula 1 racing team and Audi Factory racing team. Not to mention the 6 consecutive wins in the Australasian competition & MMS’s top 10 World Ranking out of 500 Global Universities.
The images below tell a very small part of the awesome journey Monash Motorsport has gone onover the last decade.
