Formula SAE Michigan

May 17 - 20, 2023 | Brooklyn, MI

Background

As one of the oldest competition teams on campus, GT Motorsports’ goal is to provide students with the opportunity to utilize their existing theoretical knowledge and acquire practical experience in real-life situations by designing, building, and testing open-wheeled, F1-style race cars in preparation for Formula SAE competition (FSAE). Race enthusiasts gather each year in Brooklyn, Michigan at the iconic Michigan International Speedway to participate in the largest North American competition of its kind. The event is attended by teams from the world’s top engineering and technological universities. Competitions with a similar rules structure are held globally in other countries including England, Australia, and Japan.

The engineering principles, fabrication techniques, and testing procedures students use for the FSAE competition can be directly applied to projects that encompass a wide range of engineering fields. In addition to engineering experience, students also learn valuable leadership, project management, finance, and marketing skills. GTMS offers students of all majors the opportunity to expand their knowledge in either their specific major area or another field in which they express interest. The ability to develop such a broad array of professional skills is unique to both this team and the Formula SAE competition.
