Accelerate Formula SAE to our Michigan Competition
Description
We are the Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Cal Poly team, and we design, build and test a race car for the Formula Electric SAE International Collegiate Design Series each year! We compete against schools internationally in design, logistic and dynamic events judged by industry professionals. Cal Poly Racing allows students to apply knowledge from the classroom and hands-on experiences in machine shops to create elite racing vehicles with impressive capabilities.
Each year, our team places highly amongst teams from across the world. This past year, our team placed 7th overall and was one of only 23 teams worldwide to successfully complete the 22km endurance race, in which we finished in 2nd place. Our team has also been honored with the HAAS Manufacturing Excellence Award in 2024 and 2026, and the Multimatic Vehicle Dynamics Excellence Award in 2023 and 2024.
Last year, we tripled our $5,000 goal and raised over $15,000 to support our team! These funds go into purchasing materials, tools, parts and financing our Build Week Event. The largest portion of our proceeds goes to sending our students and vehicle to Michigan to compete in the SAE competition this June. Cal Poly’s crowdfunding projects are an essential opportunity for us to fund our travel expenses and accept donations with ease. We greatly appreciate the continued support from our alumni, families, friends and industry partners, and we are thankful for donations of any amount!
Thank you for your continued support of Formula SAE!
