Formula SIUE Racing hasn't added a story.
Formula SIUE Racing participates in an annual collegiate design competition called the Formula SAE Series. Organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers International, the series challenges student design teams to conceive, fabricate, develop, and compete with formula style racecars.
The scenario of this competition is a fictional manufacturing firm has tasked teams with producing a racecar as a potential production vehicle that will target non-professional weekend autocross racers.
The FSAE Competition takes place at the Michigan International Raceway in May of every year, where 120 international teams compete in a variety of static and dynamic events under the watchful eye of major supporters such as Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, and the SAE. The static events include showcasing the innovations of our design, displaying our cost analysis, and giving a detailed product presentation. The dynamic events test the vehicle’s acceleration, braking systems, endurance, and fuel economy. All of these events, as well as the major supporters, attract huge amounts of media attention at the national and international level.
Formula SIUE is a student organization from Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville dedicated to enhancing our education through hands on applications. Over the course of the year our engineering and managerial skills are put to the test while we learn valuable lessons in machining, fabricating, designing, financing, and especially working as a team. These processes provide students with the knowledge and experience that cannot be gained in a normal classroom setting or from a textbook.
In May 2015, we returned to competition after a 5-year hiatus from competing. We had done what multiple past year’s team have been unable to do, finish a working car. This was our school’s forth time making it to competition with a completed car. This car passed technical inspection unlike SIUE’s last car that raced in 2010.
As May and competition are closing in, this same team has hit a road block. Our team has all the skills and desire to finish the 2016 car, however, we have been unable to close the gap on the money we have been given by our school and the money we need to finish a racecar and bring it to competition. This is why we are asking for your support. With all the time and effort that has already been put into the 2016 car, it would be heartbreaking not to make it to competition.
