Mizzou Formula SAE West 2012 | Acceleration, Skidpad, Autocross & More

University of Missouri at FSAE West 2012 in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Formula SAE is a student design competition organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE, also known as SAE International). The concept behind Formula SAE is that a fictional manufacturing company has contracted a student design team to develop a small Formula-style race car using a 610cc or under motor. The prototype race car is to be evaluated for its potential as a production item. The target marketing group for the race car is the non-professional weekend autocross racer. Each student team designs, builds and tests a prototype based on a series of rules, whose purpose is both ensuring on-track safety (the cars are driven by the students themselves) and promoting clever problem solving. The prototype race car is judged in a number of different events.
