Villanova FSAE

FSAE Michigan Day 2 (Wet Edition).

Busy but successful day yesterday as we nailed our Cost Presentation early in the morning and passed Tech Inspections on our FIRST TRY shortly after. We then hit our Design Presentation and proceeded through the cold and rain to pass tilt, sound, and brakes. We ended the day with dynamic event testing.

Scenes from Day 1.

Yesterday we arrived bright and early to set up our paddock and VU15. We completed equipment tech inspection and scales early on. We did not get to static tech, but were able to start on template inspections.
VU15 officially weighs in at 456 pounds!

INTRODUCING VU15!!

Last Tuesday, we held our Car Reveal event to showcase this year's vehicle, where many members of our Villanova community came out to show their support. As we rally into competition, we heard words from several team leads, our College of Engineering dean, Dr. Marcolongo, and alumnus Steve Nigro.

Completing our car mid-March, with over 100 miles of testing, could not have been done without our incredible partners and donors.

GO CATS!! Follow along on our story for competition updates!

Racers start your engines….
Just 3️⃣ days until the VU15 car reveal!

Join us from 3-4:30 in the Villanova Room on Tuesday to see the latest generation of NovaRacing!

No one could have imagined our season ending this way. But overcoming these challenges is what separates a good team from a great team. Our members work day and night for a team they love. And now, NovaRacing thanks and congratulates our graduating team members. Thank you guys for all your hard work and creativity. Although we weren’t able to test our car during Michigan this year, we hope you can come back and visit us next year. Welcome to our alumni family, NovaRacing Class of 2020!

Today, we give thanks to the heroes that protected our country. NovaRacing celebrates our servicemen and recognizes their sacrifices. Happy Memorial Day to all our friends, family, sponsors and alumni! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

COVID-19 has disrupted everyone’s lives and forced NovaRacing to stop the manufacturing of VU12. However, this Easter, we reflect on everything we’ve managed to accomplish. To all our friends, family, sponsors, and alumni who celebrate Easter, NovaRacing hopes you have a fantastic day during these unfortunate times. Let us support everyone on the front lines fighting COVID-19. So please, stay safe and stay healthy! Go Cats ✌️

This past weekend, members of our team visited Hillock Anodizing, Inc. in Philadelphia. We had a fantastic time learning about precision metal finishing and would like to thank James Rodriguez and the members of Hillock Anodizing for their assistance and support.

NovaRacing wishes everyone a fantastic holiday season! We look forward to an exciting new year! Go Cats ✌️

NovaRacing wishes everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! We are so grateful to be part of this community. We would like to thank Villanova, our sponsors, and alumni for supporting our team! We would also like to thank our friends and family who travel to Michigan every year to watch us compete. Thank you!

NovaRacing wishes everyone a spooky Halloween!🎃🎃🎃

Huge thank you to our sponsors Joe and Andy at Garrett Hill Auto Service Inc. for changing our tires. During testing, the team runs through up to an entire set of tires in a weekend, but Joe and Andy always make time to help us get new tires on the car, so its ready for the next testing day. We really appreciate your work and couldn't ask for friendlier people to be working with!

From our family to yours, NovaRacing wishes
all of our friends, sponsors, fans, and family a
Happy Thanksgiving. You're all part of our family and we couldn't be more thankful.

Registration was as easy as 1,2,3. Catch us at Michigan rocking those numbers as we secured the absolute last registration spot.

Our team had an amazing time at Mid Atlantic Grand Prix yesterday! Had an amazing time learning our lines from Mike Romano of McLaren Philadelphia and had a great time bonding and hanging out with an alum.

For St. Thomas of Villanova Day of Service, the team decided to help out a valuable and amazing cause. The team assisted the CRC Watersheds Association in removing trash from a park and river. An estimated 2500lbs of trash was removed included 6 tires and near 1000lbs of scrap metal. It feels great to give back to such a great organization!

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Student Involvement Fair this past Thursday! A bit of bad weather won't stop us from reaching out to our Villanova community. We're forward to seeing all of you at the first meeting tomorrow at 7:30pm in Mendel 101.
