Formula SAE team

The Formula SAE team is a senior design project that challenges students to design, build, and race an open-wheel formula style race car. The vehicle is judged in static categories such as engineering design, presentation, and cost analysis and dynamic events such as autocross, acceleration, and endurance. Competitions are held annually in several locations around the world such as Brasil, Italy, and Germany. The competition that VT motorsports attends each year is held in Michigan where we compete against over 120 teams from across the United States and around the world. The students on the team are not only responsible for designing and building the car, but also raising money from corporate sponsors and keeping track of the finances.
