Supporting Monash Motorsport

Swe-Check is proud to be an on-going sponsor of Monash Motorsport in the Formula SAE race car project. This year we were able to work with the team to identify key areas of their power distribution and circuit protection that could be improved using our range of state of the art electronic, automotive and electrical products. We supplied the surface mount fuses and PTC resettable fuses for their printed circuit boards, automotive blade fuses, relays, junction blocks, fuse holders and high voltage DC fuses straight from stock. These are just some of the products they used from our extensive range.

Competition Update (August 2024)

The Monash Motorsport team has completed 9 weeks of European competition with the last event Formula Student Germany. This is generally regarded as the toughest and most prestigious in the world of Formula Student. It is the largest European competition, it provides the ruleset for the majority of competitions in the world, and the event is always delivered to an incredibly high standard. The FSG competition also leads the world by requiring that all of their entrants have demonstrated autonomous functionality, with Driverless Skidpan and Acceleration required for all competitors.

This event hosts both Manually Driven EV competition and Driverless Cup competition with additional Design, AutoX and Trackdrive disciplines for selected DV teams to compete in. For the Driverless events Monash Motorsport placed 7th overall from 30 entries and were one of only 3 teams to successfully finish all four Driverless Dynamic events.

We achieved some incredible results in the Static Events including:

• 1st place overall in Cost and Manufacturing
• 3rd place overall in Business Plan Presentation
• 8th place overall in Engineering Design

These results put Monash Motorsport in the top 5 teams for static events at this competition and the team got an amazing moment on the podium to accept our Cost and Manufacturing Event win.

Competition Update (July 2024)

The Monash Motorsport team is currently in Europe for the first time in 6 years. After manufacturing their newest car, M24, in record time, it was sent in a shipping container to Germany. Upon arrival it was unpacked it into trucks and vans ready for a 2 month journey across Europe. The team have just competed in FS Netherlands and placed 5th which was an exciting result. They are hoping to achieve even greater results with upcoming events in Austria, Hungary and Germany over the next few weeks.

What is the Formula SAE Competition?

Formula SAE is the world’s largest student engineering design competition whereby university students design, manufacture, test and compete with a single seat racecar. This highly prestigious engineering competition has seen the last 34 years filled with innovative and award winning designs from universities and colleges across the globe. Each team may see just how well their cars stack up against their peers. Each car is judged in a number of events, which are separated into two types – static and dynamic. Static events consist of Design, Cost, as well a Business Presentation. Dynamic events consist of Acceleration, Skidpad, Autocross, Fuel Economy and Endurance. In these events, teams may directly compare their designs on track, where each team has the opportunity to demonstrate the capabilities of their vehicles.
