About
Who Are We?
Founded in 2016, the CU Boulder Racing Team is an organization focused on various road racing competitions. Our team has two divisions, Formula SAE and Endurance Road Racing. Our Formula SAE divisions main goal is design and building a race car each year to compete in the intercollegiate competition known as Formula SAE. Our Endurance Road Racing team partakes in races as part of the ChampCar Endurance Series and the Lucky Dog Racing League. Our club welcomes everyone, with or without racing experience. The only thing we desire from our members is willingness to learn and enthusiasm for racing.
The results speak for themselves, our Endurance Division has numerous top ten finishes over the past few years and our Formula SAE division has a top 20 finish in the Formula SAE ICE competition, the best of any Colorado team.
Each year, the our Formula SAE Division travels to Michigan International Speedway (MIS) along with over 120 other teams from around the world to compete in both dynamic and static events. Dynamic events give the teams a chance to prove their car mechanically while static events give scores for design, cost, and business. Together, the dynamic and static scores are used to decide the winner. Once a car has competed, it is ineligible to compete again, meaning the process starts all over again. This gives students the opportunities to make iterations to their designs year after year. Additionally, our Formula SAE Division travels to Manhattan, Kansas each fall to compete in Formula Wheat, an unofficial competition structured very similarly.
