Title

Testing & Validation of Electronic Sensor Array for Student Formula SAE Vehicle

Abstract

This project aims to create, test, and deploy an electronic sensor array for comprehensive data collection on the 2025-26 Gaucho Racing Formula SAE racecar. Individual sensors and peripheral electronic equipment will be tested, protected, and mounted to suit data collection and safety requirements. Full system tests will take place on a static testing rig before electronics are moved to the car for final integration and validation. Once collected, sensor data allows the Gaucho Racing team to compile and analyze data about various performance aspects of the car, enabling fine-tuning and further development for future years.
