Sir, this video is a summary of my dream. I too am a ME and my senior design project was a Mini-Indy car. I designed and built the Chassis and Suspension as well as the steering system. We were not able to fully complete the project due to costs however the dream of building one for myself one day still lingers. I can't wait for this series. Super amazing!
I'm working on something similar and trying to learn as much as I can at the moment. Do you recommend any other books from The Race Chassis and Advanced Race Car Chassis Technology? Also, how are you planning on doing the jigging?
Oh no 😢 i just found your vidoes. Hope nothing bad happened to prevent you from finishing. Ive watched probably 100s of buikd videos like this and your style is great. Would love to see you finish the series!
Hi, just found your channel. It is surely an inspriring build you have there. You said your ambition was weekly videos but it has been a month since the last one and two regarding the car. I guess you have other things going on in your life but I really would like to see the build progress in detail. Nice videos so far!
Nice chassis. I would use low carbon steel rather than chromoly for your application - less cyclic fatigue cracking issues. Chromoly only for an all out pure race car
Nice work Dude. Can you please post a video on how you designed the chasis. waiting for that bro, appreciated bro. one of the best video watched on youtube. waiting for the detailed design of chasis, lots of love from Nepal bro.. :)
Use a Honda goldwing engine. Compact Flat 6. Sequential transmission. Can install a slipper clutch. Shaft drive. Late models have reverse. A usable rev range and transmission gearing.
Hi, I just found your video. While I'm still watching I decided to tell that I'm glad there is this video and other's too related to building an F1-like car. I'd love to build one too. I guess I'll have to start with books and familiarizing with an appropriate CAD software. I'm also inspired by former F1 cars from 60s like Honda F1 cars in the late 60s or even modern Ariel Atom. I see people start welding right away and some even fail later because project becomes more and more complex and lack of knowledge makes it more and more difficult to continue. I'd love to build something simple with regular Honda engine or the one from Type R cars. I'm curious what is the target weight of such car and could you keep it under 500 kg?
Hi, thanks for uploading this. What have you found to be the most useful resources for chassis design, in particular control arm lengths and positioning?
Looking back to it now, I can tell those triangles on the frame don't have a natural flow to them, the front end could be much thinner and more optimized, but that's it
Me personally if I were to use a non V8 engine I would go with the 4G63 out of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo because those things are damn near Bulletproof small engine displacement but can produce a large amount of Power with very minimal upgrades I mean the stock Engine with new timing better injectors and maybe a new head can easily handle upwards to 800 horsepower with a twin-turbo setup and I would use the Porsche transaxle and the engine can be found in a eagle talon as well as the Mitsubishi eclipse up until they did the body redesign in the late-2000s same with the Lancer Evo going towards the Evo 9 and Evo 10 but the regular Lancer still had the engine it just didn't come with certain performance upgrades pretty much for raw power the engine is the 4-cylinder equivalent to the rb26dett from the Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 through R34 as well as the Toyota 2JZ both are inline 6 engines but they can create crazy amounts of power and are both well known for being borderline indestructible and for the Mitsubishi engine because there were so many cars built there are plenty of replacement parts and third-party aftermarket parts for upgrades and replacement components
Sir, I'm a student at an engineering college and we are trying to build a budget f1 racer. Unfortunately our knowledge to the project is very limited. We would be very greatfull if we could get your help on it.
How did you design the engine? Did you guess on the dimensions? Did you measure the engine yourself? Did you find the dimensions online? I've been designing cars in CAD in order to build them, but I can't get all the frame dimensions right without having the engine's dimensions.
I think it is “The Race Car Chassis HP1540: Design, Structures and Materials for Road, Drag and Circle Track Open- AndClosed -Wheel Chassis” by Forbes Aird.
Are you planning to race this in a particular motor sports class? Might be wise to check the design rules set by the applicable motor sports organisation before you go too far with the design.
I am building this as a Formula 1 inspired build and as a project that teaches me all I need to know. I want to use this more like a track car and a learning project.
The most important quality that any road race car chassis needs to have is torsional stiffness. Without stiffness the car will feel like rubber to the driver and reduce his confidence to drive the car fast enough to beat other cars and win. The suspension mounts should also be as stiff as the chassis. If the suspension mounting brackets flex under racing loads, the car will feel, again, like it's made of rubber. Same goes for suspension arms, steering gear and their mounts. No matter how light weight and/or how much power a race car has, if the driver does not have confidence in its handling, the car will only go as fast as the driver feels comfortable. Never sacrifice torsional stiffness and suspension component structural integrity for light weight.
@@davidaugustofc2574 I did NOT post that a frame NEEDED to be heavier to be stiff, but that light weight at the expense of torsional stiffness is poor engineering and racing strategy.
I have designed and built space frames and monocoque chassis road racing cars, driven them myself and sold them to happy customers. That "stiffness is a requirement for a good handling car is more important than being the lightest car that corners like a rubber band.@@davidaugustofc2574
Another silly little boy living in a dreamworld, all talk and looking at pictures on the internet. I built my first car when I was 17, 50 years ago, before they even had computers and the internet!
I agree that it was all talk for now, but i have been doing a lot of ground work and will be posting videos very soon. Please check my Instagram for current updates @ultimab_design. I have deep respect for elders, especially who built and did stuff i like to do. thanks for the comment.
Would love to see a step by step chassis build on SolidWorks, much love from USA

This looks really neat, love it.

I can't believe it after so long l have found someone that has the exact same f1 build in mind.
I have subscribed and I am really looking forward to this series. I hope you follow through!
Yes, Have been doing a lot of ground work and now ready for the build, in fact will be releasing the next set of videos in a week.
Super cool design !
step by step CAD design on Chasis, it'll be very helpful for me and all the people who want to learn designing,
waiting eagerly bro.

Trying to move into a better shop space, so the delay. Regular videos coming in a few days.

Choose to go with use low carbon steel for the first version.
What type of aluminum would you use for a chassis like this?
@@longsleevethong1457 don't use aluminium tubes, never use aluminium tubes
@@davidaugustofc2574 tell that to Porsche
@@longsleevethong1457 ask Porsche to build it for you, idiot.
Woah woah I'm excited
Will you continue the serie of videos ? (personaly I really enjoy it 😊)

There are many books on the subject I know this comment is old, but a ton of locosts (Caterham 7 replicas). Have good information!

Good vidéo 👌
Very nice, wish you went with McLaren mp5.
It deserves be called as fórmula

whats the steel type your gonna use, sorry its not clear in the video
amazing
Sir, I'm a student at an engineering college and we are trying to build a budget f1 racer. Unfortunately our knowledge to the project is very limited. We would be very greatfull if we could get your help on it.
did you succeed?
Post a link to the car
1. What CAD program did you use to design the 60's car? 2. Can you please share your first 60's car CAD design so I can build it?
Sir can you give the link(in soft copy) of the book you showed or you use
Where can you find 3d files of engine and stuff ?
I am a Mechanical Engineer student and want to make a F1 car as final year project
Inspired by (mostly) which era?
How did you design the engine? Did you guess on the dimensions? Did you measure the engine yourself? Did you find the dimensions online? I've been designing cars in CAD in order to build them, but I can't get all the frame dimensions right without having the engine's dimensions.
Yes I measured the engine before making a rough model in CAD.
Can anyone please advise me on where I may obtain the plans to build
my dream to do a project like this, but I don't know where to start
Buy a wrecked Cayman
does anyone have the pdf of the book "The Race Car" by Forbes Aird?
Hi! Nice video, I'm interested in the book at 5:27. Can you share the title?
I think it is “The Race Car Chassis HP1540: Design, Structures and Materials for Road, Drag and Circle Track Open- AndClosed -Wheel Chassis” by Forbes Aird.
Nikola Kolarov thank you! I will have a look at it
So, how did it go?
Update coming next week.
Are you planning to race this in a particular motor sports class? Might be wise to check the design rules set by the applicable motor sports organisation before you go too far with the design.

Sir I am interested to make formula car I am student of engineering guide me
Can I get your AUTO CAT file of the frame
more videos bro!
One coming tomorrow.
can u do one on fuel cells and carburetors
Can anyone sell me the plans for this build
Sir I really loved work I want to work with you. If it can happen please let me know.

If the frame is 20kg heavier than it needs to be, on the other hand, it won't make much of a difference
@@davidaugustofc2574 I did NOT post that a frame NEEDED to be heavier to be stiff, but that light weight at the expense of torsional stiffness is poor engineering and racing strategy.
@@Buckoux But I DO think it's important to point it out to someone that never designed a frame before/has limited experience.
I have designed and built space frames and monocoque chassis road racing cars, driven them myself and sold them to happy customers. That "stiffness is a requirement for a good handling car is more important than being the lightest car that corners like a rubber band.@@davidaugustofc2574
Getting rdy to follow in your footsteps
Tcoer Anand saste
Good luck
But why not make it electric
A retro electric f1 car
I want to start with something authentic and old school first. In the future I sure one want try different things.
Great, is it possible for you to share the design with dimensions, I am from India and love to build one.
