Hi everybody!
My name is Max and I'm a member of Formula Seven. We're a start-up producing components specifically designed for Formula SAE.
Right now we're only at the beginning, we're 4 former team members that placed few hundred dollars on the table, trying to build something that could help other students in finding parts for their cars.

More in the detail we started with 3 products:
- A steering rack;
- A carbon fiber steering wheel (available in 3 different sizes);
- Carbon fiber push/pull/tie rods;

The steering rack is an aluminum/composite one, very light and will be customized on your length needs. We designed it because it's very difficult to find a light steering rack, with good dimensions and that does not need to be reworked/adjusted.

The steering wheel is made out of carbon fiber and carbon fiber reinforced nylon. It borns from the difficulties in finding on the market a small steering wheel that could help you having it below top of the front hoop. It is available in 3 differen sizes (225 250 270 mm) and could be customized for LCDs, buttons, etc.

The push/pull/tie rods are very helpful for teams who want to approach this kind of technology without the capabilities to produce they're own. Very light and fully length customizable.
