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.
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.
The UNH Precision Racing team is hard at work buildiing Car 39 for this year's Formula SAE event held in Michigain at Michigan International Speedway from May 12th-15th. This year's car is based largely off of Car 86, the team's 2009 entrant.
Currently UNH Precision Racing is in it's 7th season and will be
competing at Formula SAE in Michigan.

This past monday, the team traveled to Custom Composite Technologies in Bath, ME to meet with Steve Hassett. The belly pan of the frame was molded using Carbon Fiber, with the cockpit belly pan using a foam core for added strength and stiffness. The seat was also molded, and should be ready for mounting in the car as early as next week.
Whelen Engineering has agreed to laser cut most of the subcomponents of the car, as well as powder coat the suspension control arms and the frame.
Check out the Photos from the winter break work.
