Cardinal Formula Racing Competing at Michigan International Speedway
|
Good luck to the Cardinal Formula Racing team! The team is at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn for the Formula SAE Michigan event from Wednesday, May 8-Saturday, May 11. This annual competition challenges teams of undergraduate and graduate students to build an Indy-style race car — from conception through design, fabrication and development — and put it through various tests.
Under the direction of Brooks Byam, professor of mechanical engineering, the team has racked up some noteworthy successes:
|
- Fastest college race car in the world twice (2008, 2014).
- Top 10 finish twice; top 20 finish six times overall.
- Highest finish of exclusively undergraduate teams for five consecutive years.
|
The Formula SAE Michigan competition will involve about 120 teams from colleges and universities around the world. For the members of SVSU’s Cardinal Formula Racing, it’s an opportunity to stand out, and the learning experience sets SVSU students apart from competitors in the work force.
