The Cal Poly Racing Formula SAE team is heading full throttle towards our first in-person competitions since 2019 this June, and we need your help to get there!
We are the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Cal Poly chapter and we design, build, and test 2 racecars for competition in the Formula SAE and Formula Electric SAE International Collegiate Design Series each year. We compete against schools around the nation and the world in design, sales, and dynamic events judged by industry professionals. Cal Poly Racing allows us to combine our knowledge from the classroom and hands-on experiences in the machine shops to create elite racing vehicles with impressive capabilities.
Each year the Cal Poly Racing team places highly amongst teams from across the world, and we are eager to get back on the racetrack to compete wheel-to-wheel with our competitors for the first time in 3 years. Despite the virtual format of the 2020 and 2021 competitions, our teams placed well in the design and business sectors, and we are eager to see our vehicles in action on the East Coast!
We are currently fundraising in order to send our students and vehicles to compete in the Formula SAE competition in Brooklyn, Michigan in June. We greatly appreciate the continued support from our alumni, families, friends, and industry partners, and we are thankful for all amounts of monetary support we receive.
If you know you know. For all of the little things that you forget about when doing a project such as those random nuts and bolts.
Diesel is not cheap these days and it will take quite a bit of it in order to transport our cars to Michigan.
Sleep is important for everyone, but during a competition, getting adequate sleep is especially important to ensure peak performance come race day.
Getting to our competitions is no small task and will require gas money and lodging for our road trip to Michigan.
You're the best! This will enable us to take more people to competition, which is one of the best learning opportunities for students on the team.
