This year, cars will be built on a two-year rotation with each car having a three-year life cycle:
* Year 1: Design and Class 2 competition entry
* Year 2: Class 1 competition entry
* Year 3: Dynamic analysis test bed
The three-year life cycle ensures that the car is subjected to an in-depth design period as well as an extensive testing phase. Improvements are made to the car before each competition entry, using the experience and knowledge gained from the previous year in addition to suggestions made by the Formula Student judges.
