In this report the focuses on the overall frame and body design and how it performs under certain conditions. In order to do this the frame was first modelled on SolidWorks. This was done a number of times to get the frame correct. The module was broken down into a number of different areas to help design a suitable frame and body to adhere to the regulations of the formula student. Over the course of this report the following key areas were accomplished to design a suitable frame and body.

1. Frame
