Welcome to the University of New Hampshire's Formula SAE website. Formula SAE is a competition designed for college students by the Society of Automotive Engineers. In this competition, aspiring students from all majors come together to design, build, and race a single seat, open cockpit race car.
A special thank you to all our current and past sponsors! Sponsors are the driving force behind UNH Precision Racing. Without their unconditional support our team would not be where it is today!
The Society of Automotive Engineers describes the competition as:
The Formula SAE® competition is for SAE student members to conceive, design, fabricate, and compete with small formula-style racing car s. 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 120 other vehicles from colleges and universities throughout the world. The end result is a great experience for young engineers in a meaningful engineering project as well as the opportunity of working in a dedicated team effort.
More information about the competition can be found on the Formula SAE website.
UNH Precision Racing performed very well in the FSAE 2007 competition at Ford's Michigan Proving Grounds in Remeo, Detroit. For the first time in the team's history we completed every event, including the elusive endurance race. The team also placed 14th in the design presentation, tying with teams such as MIT, Cornell, University of Texas, and University of Western Australia. Overall the team placed 51st out of 130 registered teams!
Currently UNH Precision Racing is in it's 5th season and will be competing at Formula SAE in Michigan. We are currently assigned Car #36 for the 2007/2008 season.
