Formula SAE
UNC Charlotte Formula SAE is a student run design, build, and race team.
Our purpose is to conceive, design and construct a high-performance formula-style race car that will compete in the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Collegiate Design Series, Formula SAE. The Formula SAE competition is an annual event that brings up to 120 international teams together, where they will have to compete in multiple dynamic and static events that test the design and performance of the car. Through the car’s journey from conception to competition, our goal is to provide the students here at UNC Charlotte with the knowledge and skills to be successful motorsports engineers in the automotive and racing world.
If you want to get involved in either of the SAE teams, contact the team leader, or just show up in the Kulwicki Lab after 6 p.m. during the week.
