Checking in on VT Motorsports

This May VPI will compete in the annual Formula SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) collegiate competition at Michigan International Speedway. Virginia Tech Motorsports is hard at work on their 2016 vehicle entry, and hoping to improve on their 2015 performance. The participants of Formula SAE are from all over the world, including countries like Poland, Venezuela, and Singapore. The United States carries the preponderance of the entrants, but it is truly an international competition. Formula SAE will be marking their 35th year in 2016. During that time Formula SAE has challenged undergraduate and graduate students to develop a business strategy, conceive, design, and manufacture of an amateur four-wheel racing vehicle.
