The MFTC3 was developed by the MAD Formula Team, a Formula Student collective from the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M). Entering the 2020 season, the team faced the unique challenge of global lockdowns, which shifted much of the focus from track testing to digital refinement.
A multi-element wing package and an intricate floor design that optimized the Venturi effect, providing immense grip at low speeds. 2020 MAD Formula Team MFTC3_V1.7_Ofitus21.zip
A double-wishbone setup with pushrod-actuated dampers, meticulously tuned to provide mechanical grip and predictable handling. The MFTC3 was developed by the MAD Formula
Version 1.7 introduced sophisticated tire models that simulate heat cycles, graining, and the specific slip angles of the Hoosier tires used in competition. It became a benchmark for "open-source" racing development
By releasing this zip file to the public, the team allowed aspiring engineers and sim-racers worldwide to experience the nuances of a Formula Student car. It became a benchmark for "open-source" racing development within the sim-racing community. Conclusion: A Legacy of Innovation
The MFTC3 was designed as a lightweight, agile combustion vehicle. Its philosophy centered on a high power-to-weight ratio and a complex aerodynamic package designed to maximize downforce in the tight, technical corners characteristic of Formula Student circuits.
