New Motorsports Club

Would you like to help push the future of transportation forward?

Are you interested in the design, fabrication, financial planning, fundraising, project management, commercial art, or driving aspects of a race car?

If so, join the Motorsports Club, which will spearhead development of Lafayette’s formula hybrid car. Be part of building this club from the ground up! Stop by the Zoom meeting on Tuesday at noon to:

● Learn about Lafayette’s formula SAE electric vehicle
● Hear about the annual competition where students race their vehicles
● Hear from faculty and professional engineers advising the club
● Find out how to get involved

The Formula Hybrid competition is an interdisciplinary design and engineering challenge for undergraduate and graduate students. They must collaboratively design and build a formula-style hybrid or electric-only racecar and compete in a series of events. This educational competition emphasizes drivetrain innovation and fuel efficiency in a high-performance application.

Formula Hybrid gives students hands-on experience with the challenges of creating and implementing a wide variety of technologies while being part of an interdisciplinary team. Students get a unique opportunity to turn classroom concepts into tangible skills and to interact with some of the most talented professionals in the emerging technology industries.
