Abstract The Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (FSAE) has provided a platform
for teams like Oregon State’s own Global Formula Racing Team (GFR) to produce a
formula style race car and compete with other schools across the world. The GFR team
has used the same carbon fiber monocoque chassis since the 2010 competition season and
will be designing a new chassis for the 2015 season. In order to select a new chassis there
must be ample research and consideration put into the process. A selection matrix will
provide the GFR team with a quantifiable source of information in order to help with this
design and selection process. The engineering matrix will provide valuable information
for present and future chassis design teams.
