Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (FSAE) 25

Who We Are

Highlander Racing is UC Riverside’s Formula SAE team. Each year, our students design, build, and compete with a fully student-designed and assembled, formula-style electric vehicle. We provide members access to professional-grade software, precision manufacturing, and hands-on fabrication experience to bring their designs to life. Beyond engineering, we host guest speakers, workshops, and networking events with recruiters and industry professionals, giving members real exposure to the engineering and business world. The funds we raise directly support these experiences by covering materials, fabrication, and competition costs. With your support, Highlander Racing can continue to represent UC Riverside nationally and give the next generation of engineers real work experience.

Who You Are

You are someone who believes in innovation, education, and the next generation of engineers. Our mission depends on supporters like you: alumni, local businesses, families, and motorsports enthusiasts who share our passion for learning and advancement. Every dollar you contribute goes directly into our Formula SAE electric racecar, funding the design, manufacturing, and assembly of the entire vehicle. Your support does more than buy parts; it gives students real-world experience in engineering, project management, and leadership, turning classroom knowledge into tangible results that drive our team and car forward.
