UV24

Unfortunately, due to technical issues, we did not complete endurance in 2024. We placed 38th out of 120 teams, tying for 11th in design .

 

 

UV23

2023 was a strong competition year for the team. We placed 18th out of 120 teams, and first among Canadian teams. With a new-to-us CBR600RR engine and a number of redesigned parts, we completed all four dynamic events and placed second in our design bay, coming 12th overall in design.

 

 

UV23e

UVFR’s first time at EV competition! The vehicle had an 11kWh Accumulator, and we placed 48th in design. Unfortunately, UV23e was unable to compete in any dynamic events.

UV22

Swapped 2019 suspension system to utilize front pushrods, redesigned wiring harness for additional sensors and durability. Placed 11th in the design presentation and 54th overall at the May Michigan competition.

 

 

UV20 & UV21

Never completed due to the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns.

UV19

Complete ground up redesign. This included dropping the aging CBR600F4i for the CBR600RR which was the basis engine for Moto2. The wheels went from 13″ to 10″ to reduce un-sprung mass. Changed ECU to use the Link Thunder and Plex Tuning data logging system.

 

UV18

First of our cars to use carbon fiber suspension components. Major changes to the aerodynamics package were also made this year including a completely new diffuser.

UV17

Advancements in the aerodynamics package and the 3D printed steering wheel. Further weight reduction measures across the car.

UV16

Underwent weight reduction and the inclusion of powertrain components 3D printed by CRP USA using their proprietary materials.

UV15

The first year of our aerodynamics package. Used to improve cornering performance. Also used the LIfe Racing F88RX ECU for more advanced engine controls.
