Formula Student Chassis for sale

Post

Hi

I head a team of secondary students and we regularly compete in Greenpower...an excellent engineering challenge and interesting formula for schools.

We have recently been donated a Formula Student spaceframe chassis, which we would like to sell to raise funds for our Greenpower team. Would anyone be interested? Photos are on our blog here:

What do you expect in terms of money? I don't see any use for it for someone for driving? It looks quite "old", not very stiff but big, no pickup points for anything whatsoever. It doesn't even comply with today's rules, so surely noone would want to race it. Maybe you can build a driving simulator out of it?

I doubt an FSAE team would be interested, certainly they'd lose a whole lot of design marks if it turned out they'd bought a chassis.

For anyone else an FSAE chassis has limited appeal I'd have thought.

I basically view any FS/FSAE chassis as a death trap for extended running, so I'll pass.

I thought SAE imposed rules on the selling of old cars?

It appears to have never been any further advanced towards being a 'car' - than a bare frame..

Perhaps it is a failed & now forlorn prototype?

Anyhow, most of 'em appear to be a waste of a serviceable motorcycle mill..
.. & which would likely perform the same 'tests' better as a motorcycle..
