BEARCAT MOTORSPORTS
WHAT WE DO:
THE BEARCAT MOTORSPORTS TEAMS AT UC DESIGN AND BUILD AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION AND ELECTRIC FORMULA SAE CAR EACH YEAR.
WHAT I DO:
I AM THE CURRENT BEARCAT ELECTRIC VEHICAL (BEV) BODYWORK DIRECTOR. THIS ENTAILS AERO, BODY PANELS, AND LIVERY.
01
WHAT I DESIGNED
ARTIFICIAL WINGS
​
-
The electric vehicle half of our club does not yet have sufficient funding to design and test real aerodynamics.
-
I designed "Faux aero" solely focused on promotion of our club and bringing attention to our car.
​
LIVERY
​
-
The layout and placement of our various sponsor's logos and branding.
-
The placement of numbers and other identifiers to adhere to the FSAE guidelines.
-
Our aesthetic design and University of Cincinnati branding.
​

GOALS
MAKE IT LOOK REAL
​
-
While the wings I designed will not be used in competition, we want them to look as real as possible.
-
With the addition of this aesthetic aero kit we hope to attract funding for future years of Bearcat Motorsports and a real aero kit in years to come.
ADD VISUAL INTEREST
​
-
The main purpose of these faux wings is to grab attention and promote our club. ​
-
If we draw more attention we can attract more members and funding.
-
The more funding and participants we can find, the better.
