About Formula SAE
Formula SAE is a competition run by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) with a
rich history of challenging the world’s young professionals. The competition requires
student teams to design and build an open-wheel, formula-style race car.
The culmination of the project comes when the cars, built by universities from all over
the world, compete in a number of dynamic and static events over a four day period.
Worldwide, there are eight competitions held each year; one in Australia, one in Japan,
three in Europe, one in Brazil and two in the USA. The formula SAE competition
originated in the USA in 1980.
The Australasian competition has been running since 2000 and attracts approximately
30 teams each year, with at least 5 of those being international teams. Formula SAE
Australasia (FSAE-A) is an opportunity for university students to obtain firsthand
experience in project management, teamwork, budget management, the application of
complex analytical methods, risk management and hands on manufacturing of a high
performance racing car. The project is managed entirely by students.

About the UOW FSAE Team
In 2001, a keen group of undergraduate engineering students united to develop UOW’s
first ever FSAE vehicle, quickly becoming one of Australia’s most successful Formula
SAE teams. In May 2002, UOW became the first Australian University to compete against
140 of the world’s most competitive teams in the USA. UOW led Australia’s most
successful international campaign at the time, returning to Australia with an overall
standing of 28th in the field of 140 strong competitors.
For the 2002 Australasian competition UOW FSAE designed and built a brand new car.
This lighter, faster and smaller car was the first to win every dynamic event at a Formula
SAE competition, setting a world record of 947.5 out of 1000 overall score. After such a
commanding performance in Australia, UOW FSAE returned to the USA in 2003.
Competing against teams from around the world, UOW came out on top to win the event,
successfully demonstrating what kind of dominating package UOW students are
capable of producing.

Since 2003, UOW FSAE has remained a force to be reckoned with and continues on this
path for 2015. To date, UOW FSAE holds nine podium finishes, out of the 16
competitions it has entered, including three outright victories. Most recently, the 2012
car placed overall 3rd out of 21 teams in the Australasian competition. The team is very
proud of its consistent performance, currently being ranked in the top 10% of teams
world-wide. Being placed at 47th, UOW strives to uphold the strong reputation and
professionalism it has built over the years.
In 2015 the Team has increased its size to 50 total members and continues to grow with
the recruitment of young and determined undergraduate students of all disciplines. The

A Letter from our Team Leader
Greetings. My name is Matthew Athanasios and I am the Team Principal at UOW FSAE
for the 2015 Formula SAE-Australasian Campaign. On behalf of the UOW FSAE Team, I
would like to thank you for taking the time to read our Sponsorship Brief and hope that
you and your company can be a part of our team for the 2015 Campaign and beyond.
UOW FSAE has a rich history of success. We intend that the 2015 Campaign will be
another successful page in that history. This success manifests itself in a few forms, the
overall result at Competition and the experience and satisfaction we, the students, get
from undertaking the project. From personal experience, the process of establishing a
concept, creating a CAD model in 3D space and seeing that model become reality and a
part of the car is a truly rewarding and invaluable experience as young professionals.
The ongoing support and generous donations of time and money from our Sponsors and
the University of Wollongong give us the opportunity to continue to participate and be
successful, in all aspects of the project.
Yours Sincerely,
Matthew Athanasios
Team Principal

A few words from the Technical director;
The engineering overindulgence and energy of the 2014 Formula-SAE Australasian competition
made it an extremely competitive event. This generational shift that was emulated through the
formation of the 2014 UOW FSAE campaign heralds the basis for vehicle evolution into 2015.
Through extensive physical prototyping of technical areas, coupled with skill development
programs the management group will guarantee continued generational evolution of the UOW
Formula-SAE Team.
2014 campaign saw the first UOW FSAE racer in 12 years to obtain sufficient operational testing
time in order to truly push the vehicle’s performance limits and overall project success alike.
Through the implementation of an evolutionary design philosophy the Team was able to obtain
valuable physical testing data which allows for validation of computer generated solutions. This
further assists the Team by allowing the constant growth of the system designs to optimize
performance and sustainability.
Through our months of testing, analysis and evaluation, The UOW Formula-SAE team have
developed the major technical goals for the 2015 racer:
1) Reliability:
Defined as 5000km cyclic loading consideration for every alloy component
Infinite lifetime for ferrous metal fabrication.
Reliability in manufacture processes, assembly and maintenance
2) Mass: Limiting vehicle mass to 215kg (without driver)
3) Cost conscious product
4) 50/50 mass distribution
Through the early weeks of design, our technical Team has been hard finding solutions to
optimize the design, with a major focus being placed on data acquisition; which will be vital for
Page 15

Pagetesting, tuning and design of the 2015 racer. The 2015 vehicle will deliver what the weekend
autocross racer demands: engineering excellence that performs on the track.
“The University of Wollongong seems to have a very competitive car this year… Well when
anyone refers to a “Wollongong” car we all know what they mean. They are not afraid to change
in order to be competitive, whether it be the ferocious turbo era vehicles to the grippy winged
monsters of today. This is a real credit to their Team always hungry to innovate in this
competition.” – FSAE Commentator (Saturday 13th December 2014) – Autocross commentary

PageWhy Sponsor UOW FSAE?
Formula SAE is an international design and build competition representing the most
competitive yet rewarding student engineering competition in the world. This requires
passionate, dedicated and capable students to volunteer their own time to operate a
motorsport team each year culminating in a new campaign to design, build, test, manage
and race an open wheeled formula style vehicle at the international Formula-SAE
competitions. This ensures any peer who volunteers their time in such a program will be
rewarded with vital skills allocated with overall engineering and multi-disciplinary
project skills.
To successfully contest for the Formula SAE – A title, UOW FSAE needs support. Design,
construction and testing of a new vehicle involves a substantial investment of time and
resources. To compete in the Australasian event requires approximately $80,000 in direct
monetary sponsorship. In addition, the team relies heavily on sponsorship in the form
of parts, material, machining and other services*.
Throughout the years, UOW FSAE has given its sponsors more than just publicity and
recognition. Through UOW FSAE many of our sponsors have developed working
relationships within UOW and amongst one another. The Illawarra community, UOW,
BlueScope Steel, JOYGLOBAL, Castrol and many other highly esteemed companies
support us; but we need further support from the Australian industry. Sponsoring UOW
FSAE represents a unique opportunity to promote local achievement to the rest of the
nation, and Australian excellence to the world.
UOW FSAE offers the following benefits to all of its much appreciated sponsors:
Page 20

Page All sponsors benefit from the close contact they have with the young¸ high-
achieving students who make up the UOW team.
Members of the team are well-rounded and professional graduate engineers who
can become potential employees; or can be involved with sponsoring companies
to complete vocational work
As a sponsor you become part of a word champion team, while helping to raise
the profile of your business.
Sponsors of the UOW FSAE Team gain vast exposure through the advertising of
their company at community events where the car is present, through our
quarterly newsletters and our website and social networking sites.
All sponsors will receive complete access to images of the UOW team and car.
These may be used in your company’s promotional material.
The car and team will both be provided for company promotional use when
available.
All sponsors will receive issues of the UOW FSAE’s quarterly newsletter that
details the team’s progress and competition results.
Advertise your company in our quarterly newsletter (advertising size depends on
sponsorship value, see pg. 33, point. 8, for further details)
All sponsors are given the opportunity to drive the UOW race car at sponsor drive
days.
Social events and drive days are a valuable opportunity for sponsors to network
and promote their business.
Every donation of support to UOW FSAE is fully tax deductible.
* In order to calculate the value of these donations non-monetary contributions are valued at half of the equivalent monetary value.
For example $1000 worth of machined parts would be valued at $500 and would fall under the ‘Bronze’ sponsorship package.
