SAE Concept of the competition Ever since the automobile was invented, we have tried to find ways to make it go faster.
Automobile racing is as much an international sport as soccer.
The Formula SAE competition is for engineering students to conceive, design, fabricate, and co mpete with small formula-style racing cars. The restrictions on the car frame and engine are limited so that the knowledge, creativity, and imagination of the students are challenged. The cars are built through a team effort over a period of about one-y ear and are taken to the event for judging and comparison with approximately 90 other competitors from around the world. The end result is a great experience for young engineers in a meaningful engineering project as well as the opportunity of working on a project as part of a team. For the purpose of this competition, the students are to assume that a manufacturing firm has engaged them to produce a prototype car for evaluation as production item.
