Mission Statement

Our goal is to cultivate well-rounded engineers by fostering technical skills, teamwork, and business acumen through the entire engineering and design cycle. We strive to challenge and inspire students to pursue their passions while giving them a platform to showcase their abilities through participation in the Formula SAE competition.

About Us

Dallas Formula Racing is a student-led organization at the University of Texas at Dallas. Our team was founded in 2014 and has successfully built 3 formula-style vehicles for the Formula SAE competition. The diverse array of projects on our team results in student collaboration among 4 different schools at UT Dallas.

We are committed to sharing our passion for engineering and math with young minds. We volunteer at STEM fairs in the DFW area to encourage new students to take on a similar path by leaving a lasting impression on our future generation of innovators by demonstrating various STEM applications through our diverse group.

About Formula SAE

Formula SAE is an international competition hosted by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). This Collegiate Design Series (CDS) competition pushes students to go beyond classroom material by challenging them to design, build, and test the performance of a formula-style vehicle. Each vehicle is inspected in a series of tests to comply with all competition rules to ensure safety. Students are tested and scored on their knowledge of their vehicle design by experts in various industries and cars are tested on numerous tracks including acceleration, autocross, endurance, and skid pad.
Formula SAE promotes careers and excellence in engineering as it encompasses all aspects of the automotive industry including research, design, manufacturing, testing, developing, marketing, management, and finances.
