THE POWER OF
FORMULA SAE
The Formula SAE competition is for SAE student members who conceive , design , fabricate , and compete 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 with a team effort over a period of about one year and are taken to the annual competition for judging and comparison with approximately 130 other vehicles from colleges and universities throughout the world . The end result is a meaningful engineering project for young engineers , as well as the opportunity to work in a dedicated team effort .
