2023-2024

Aerodynamics department is responsible for the design and optimization of body, aerodynamic package, and cooling airflow systems on the vehicle.

Chassis department is responsible for designing and analyzing the frame of the vehicle. The main goal is to create a lightweight chassis that can keep the driver safe from any impact.

High Voltage department develops electric systems such as the accumulator and the motor controller. The responsibilities of this department are to store and control the electric energy required for moving the vehicle with safety and high efficiency.

Low voltage department has many responsibilities regarding every electrical part that is not related to the electronics in the high current path. With the main goal being the safety and the best possible performance of the vehicle, the low voltage sub-team designs the wire harness to which are connected different sensors, switches and control and safety systems. We also develop software for data analysis and problem detecting to boost the car’s performance and find the areas that need to be improved.

Operations and Business Plan department is responsible for the team’s well function, promotion, and business plan creation. We focus on keeping contact with our sponsors and communicating Perseus Racing through various social media platforms by capturing activities and events in photo and video material. We design everything that has to do with the team’s promotion (posters, leaflets, t shirts, website), and we organize our team’s events. Finally, we develop our team’s business plan idea, which we then have to present to a jury at the competition’s events.

Powertrain department is in charge of the power delivery to the driven wheels. This includes designing the motor and differential mount, as well as finding the optimum gear ratio for any given event. Our goal is to find the best balance between top speed and acceleration while having as little weight as possible.

Suspension & Vehicle Dynamics department is responsible for designing and analyzing suspension system for optimum traction, steering and brake system. Our main goal is maximizing ‘g’ forces, which are a function of velocity, acceleration, and braking.
