The evolution of the CRR-Cars
Clear River Racing has come a long way since its inception in 2008. In the early days of our history the cars relied on 4-cylinder engines and lacked an aero-package. This was until the turning point of CRR13, as it was the first vehicle to incorporate an aero-package and the last to feature a 4-cylinder engine. Subsequently, all CRR vehicles have included an aero-package since 2013.
In 2014, CRR switched to the 1-cylinder KTM 500 engine, which was later enhanced with a turbocharger in 2016 and 2017 to augment power output. CRR’s innovative spirit was demonstrated in 2018 when we undertook a challenging project to develop our first hybrid chassis. The car featured a carbon fiber monocoque and a rear steel tube frame, with the engine type used in CRR16 and CRR17 but without a turbocharger to minimize weight.
Looking ahead, CRR aims to continue improving its development processes, as demonstrated by CRR21, our first electric formula student car. Featuring two hub motors and a battery pack built in-house. CRR21 represents a significant step forward for Clear River Racing, signaling our commitment to be at the forefront of engineering.
Our growth has been immense over the last couple of years, take a look yourself!
