Welcome back to teamscr.com...

bringing you a brand-new look...

Only about five years overdue, here is the new-and-improved teamscr.com!  What started in 1997 as the home of the biggest Saturn road racing team in North America has evolved into your comprehensive resource for improved vehicle dynamics and high-performance brake system engineering.  As you can see, this site is still under development, but we are making rapid progress.  (What else would you expect?  We are a race team, after all...) 

Please contact us with feedback and check back often to see the latest improvements.  Thanks for stopping by!

but the same drive to win!

Welcome Saturn race fans!

scR logoOnly about five years overdue, here is the new-and-improved teamscr.com!  What started in 1997 as the home of the biggest Saturn road racing team in North America has evolved into your comprehensive resource for improved vehicle dynamics and high-performance brake system engineering.  Through our open-enrollment engineering seminars and plain-English technical publications, our years of high-performance race engineering experience can help take you from mid-pack to the front of the field in no time at all.

For those die-hard Saturn race fans who continue to turn to us for technical assistance, we have retained all of the race team content from the old teamscr.com.  In our motorsports section you can still find a wealth of information about our cars as they continue to race under new sponsorship (yes, we have kept up with them), our drivers (we tell ourselves that we were real race car drivers before the kids came along), our crew (those selfless, dedicated volunteers who were too easily bribed with promises of Outback Steakhouse), and our vast technical database.  Over twenty years of combined SCCA road racing experience is here at your virtual doorstep.  We hope that you continue to find the material both entertaining and informative.

Our three-way partnership in 2002 and 2003 with SPS racing, R^3 motorsports, and the original team scR provided a couple of knockout race seasons.  So, sit back and surf on.  Get Current News on our various exploits (racing and otherwise), read up on Tech Articles written by people who actually race their cars, peruse our tongue-in-cheek Newsletter Archive, browse our extensive Photo Gallery, watch our action-packed Videos, meet the Drivers and Teams, and get official scR Stuff.  Any way you look at it, if you are a Saturn motorsports enthusiast, there is something here for you.  Thanks for stopping by!

Applied Vehicle Dynamics

I.D.# C0414, Duration: 3 Days

While a variety of new engineering tools are becoming available to assist in creating optimal vehicle designs, subjective evaluation of vehicle behavior is still a vital tool to ensure desired braking, handling, and other dynamic response characteristics. In order to better prepare today's engineer for this task, this course offers twelve modules devoted to the key fundamental principles associated with longitudinal and lateral vehicle dynamics. Each focused classroom session is paired with an on-track exercise to immediately reinforce these concepts with a dedicated behind-the-wheel driving session, effectively illustrating these principles in the real world.

Underdrive Pulleys – Our Testing

A few comments from our dyno experiences at Team scR. Since we are allowed to change accessory drive components, we have looked into issue this on more than one occasion. With all of the wild horsepower gains advertised, we figured that it was at least worth a solid investigation. Here’s what we found.
