UMN Formula SAE
We are the University of Minnesota Student Chapter of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).
Each year, we design and build two vehicles, one Internal Combustion and one Electric, to compete in the global Formula SAE Series.
The competition goal is to design, manufacture, market, and race an open-wheel,
open-cockpit, and single-seat vehicle marketable to the weekend autocrosser.
An international collegiate design competition sanctioned by the
Society of Automotive Engineers
In Formula SAE students develop and build an open-wheeled,
open cockpit race car. In addition to being scored on their vehicle performance,
teams are also scored on their business logic and engineering competency.
After graduation, Formula SAE students are sought out for their passion
and attention to detail in developing highly-engineered,
high-performance products. Being a part of Gopher Motorsports
means developing life-long skills!
