Design. Build. Win.
Cornell Racing is Cornell University's Formula SAE team — one of FSAE's most decorated programs, with nine World Championship titles since our Rookie-of-the-Year debut in 1987. Every season we take a blank sheet and turn it into a full electric formula car, engineered and built entirely by students.
A student team that answers to a stopwatch.
FSAE is an international engineering competition where student teams design, manufacture, and race a car from scratch — then defend every decision to industry judges.

Sponsor the next build.
Cornell Racing runs on parts, machining time, and sponsor support — not university funding. Companies like Rivian, Anduril, Altium, and AMK back our program every season.
No racing experience required. Just show up.
We recruit new members every fall and spring. Bring curiosity — we'll teach you CAD, machining, and wiring on the job.
