Formula SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers)

We design, fabricate and compete with small formula-style racecars against other colleges from around the world. UC Berkeley's Formula SAE team, or Berkeley Formula Racing (BFR), is an engineering student organization that designs and builds a small formula-style race car in order to compete in the annual Formula SAE competition. Our team is comprised of about 60 students from various backgrounds all belonging to at least one of our subsystems: Aerodynamics, Brakes & Driver Interface, Business, Chassis Drivetrain, Engine, Electrical, and Suspension. Since our establishment in 2001, our dedicated members have worked their way from a simple engineering club to one of the top competitors in the nation. Each year we continuously grow and improve in both our engineering design and project management skills.
