Abstract

This project is about the development of bodywork of the new nose panel of Formula Varsity race car by using composite material which is fiberglass/polyester laminated. The developments that has been planned in the bodywork are the refreshing new design for the nose cone panel which more focus on the element of aerodynamic and plus the weight reduction of the panel since the composite material replace the sheet metal. Furthermore, there is some analysis which known as Flexural Test that has been done in order to find the right type of layer for fiberglass. The test result show the flexural strength of each type of layer and based on the comparison between each specimen, only one specimen that have good flexural strength will be chosen in the fabrication process. The fabrication process used in this project is hand lay-up which has the lowest manufacturing cost but can produce the high quality of product.
