About Us
Dallas Formula Racing is a student-led organization and is the chapter for SAE International at the University of Texas at Dallas. Our team was founded in 2014 and has successfully built three formula-style vehicles for the Formula SAE competition. The diverse array of projects on our team results in student collaboration among four different schools at UT Dallas.
We are dedicated to imparting our enthusiasm for engineering and math to aspiring individuals. We volunteer at STEM fairs in the DFW area to encourage new students to take similar paths. We leave a lasting impression on future innovators by demonstrating various STEM applications through our diverse group.

Sample Projects
2022 Aerodynamics Package
Using Siemens StarCCM+, hundreds of configurations were analyzed and evaluated, allowing us to estimate the impact on on-track performance. This aero package was the catalyst for expanding the team's aerodynamics capabilities and, with continued development, increasing vehicle performance while allowing us to validate our simulation model and estimate on-track performance in many more dynamic conditions.
STEM Volunteering
Dallas Formula Racing attends various STEM events and holds tours to further our team's impact on a broader range of students. Some of the events we have attended include Westwood Jr High's Math, Science & Technology Celebration Day, STEM in the Park, eWeek, and the Young WISE kick-off meeting.
We talk to K-12 students at these events about the engineering needed to build our car and the unique experiences they can gain in higher education. Through this event, we aim to get them excited about math and science and encourage them to continue their education in the STEM field.
