Our Car

The team's dark green formula car, number 37, parked on a brick plaza outside a Clarkson University building with the Golden Knight logo in the windows behind it
Fig. 01 Car 37 on the Clarkson campus — the team's first Formula SAE Electric entry.

The car above is the first one we have brought to Formula SAE Electric competition — the team's first complete electric car, and the one every subteam below has worked on.

It has not been retired. The car is now the team's testing platform: a vehicle we can instrument, run, and measure instead of a set of assumptions on paper. Thermals, pack behavior, how the chassis and suspension actually respond — every number that comes off it is insight we did not have the first time around, and it feeds directly into the design choices for the next car.

Leadership

The officers running the team and the leads running each subteam — the people to talk to if you want to work on that part of the car.

Sponsors

The companies and foundations whose software, parts, and manufacturing support put the car on track.
