Competition The Formula SAEŽ competition is for SAE student members to design, fabricate, and compete using formula-style racing cars. Rules and restrictions are placed on the car frame and engine so that the knowledge, creativity, skills, and imagination of the students are challenged. The cars are built with a team effort and are taken to the annual competition, where they compete with colleges and universities from around the world. The end result is great experience for students in a meaningful engineering challenge, as well as the opportunity of working in a team setting. The cars are judged in a series of static and dynamic events including: static inspection and engineering design, solo performance trials, high performance track endurance, cost analysis, and a marketing presentation. These events are scored to determine how well the car performs. In each event, the manufacturing firm has specified minimum acceptable performance levels that are reflected in the scoring equations. More competition details can be found at the Formula SAEŽ website. |
