The WMU Formula Racing Team is a non-profit organization which advances the education of future engineers by designing and building a vehicle to compete in the annual Formula SAE competitions.

The mission of the WMU Formula Racing Team is quite simply, to build the best vehicle possible using acquired engineering and real world skills while having a good time. The WMU Formula Racing Team is a great way for students to gain appreciation for the hands on side of engineering. Many skills used to build the formula vehicle are not taught in the class, but gained through trial and error along with plenty of practice. Because of the vast range of skills students learn while being a team member, the project produces very well rounded engineers with an appreciable understanding of how to apply engineering principles to every day challenges.

Been looking for a more exciting RSO to join? Have you seen us at recruiting events and been looking to get more information on our team? Well, you've come to the right place.

We are always looking for more driven students to join our team. We don't care if you have one semester or five years left until you graduate. If you are interested in learning about cars or are looking for experience on the administrative side of things, we can use your help.

We are particularly looking for people to help out with maintaining sponsor relations and recruiting more sponsors, as our sponsors are the lifeblood of our car. Without them, we could hardly accomplish any of the things we do. We are also seeking individuals to help out on our marketing and cost presentations for next year's SAE competitions.

We are also looking for individuals to join and help our team with manufacturing, testing, and design work. Don't know how to machine or weld? Don't worry, we'll teach you.

Due to our decision not to attend this year's Formula SAE Michigan competition (please see our last news post), we are also postponing our year's Formula SAE unveiling event until later in the summer.  Details on this event will be released later once a date has been chosen.

Additionaly, our second annual car show orignially scheduled for Saturday, June 19th from 9am-4pm at WMU's College of Engineering and Applied Sciences has been postponed to later in the summer due to the anticipated draw of a car show held in nearby Galesburg on the same day. Watch for an updated car show date to be released in the coming weeks.  Check out the car show's website for more information as it is released.

As always, check out our photo albums for continued visual updates and watch our calendar for upcoming events.
