I did one for my final year project. Its title was "The design and simulation of a F1 gearbox". Basically it was to design a software application that would take a torque curve, a speed analysis graph and some other info and the end result would output the best number of gears (5 - 7) and the best gear ratios to use for a particular track. I got info from the transmissions dept at Tyrell (a guy called Gary Thomas). He was the only person from all the F1 teams to send a helpful reply.
Do you really want to do a project on F1? Could it be another class? What is your particular area of specialisation? Would you fancy doing an aero project for a lower formula car? If yes, I'd be interested in helping as much as possible.
