Formula SAE Vehicles
CB1
CB1 is the first car built by the CU Boulder Racing Team's Formula SAE division. Originally conceived in 2017, the car was supposed to compete at Formula SAE California in Fontana, California in the summer of 2020 but was cancelled due to COVID-19. After the event cancellation, CB1 was reborn as CB1.5, a continuation of the original project, to combat with potential vehicle problems. CB1.5 will compete at Formula SAE California in the summer of 2021.
CB2/3
CB3 is an evolution of our CB1/2 platform, with driver ergonomic and control interface improvements. CB3 competed at FSAE Michigan in June 2022, but unfortunately did not pass technical inspection.
CB4
CB4 is our most successful design cycle to date. This car is our first vehicle to ever pass technical inspection. It attended the 2023 Michigan FSAE IC event and placed 20th. This vehicle also hosted our first piece of carbon fiber crafted in-house.
CB5
CB5 competed in the 2024 Formula SAE IC Michigan competition. CB5 was our first ever vehicle with an aerodynamics package, and a differential. This ambitous design cycle has the most changes to date. Other key changes to this platform include moving away from the direct linkage front suspension showcased in CB4, as well as a thirty percent power increase as a result of a new and improved intake system. Other systems such as the cooling and fuel tank were refined and downsized.
