UWashington Formula Motorsports Welcome to the official page for the University of Washington Formula SAE Team! Check out our events here: https://linktr.ee/uwfsae

Many are unaware what Formula SAE is, let alone that the University of Washington has a highly successful and competitive team. The intent of this group is to help spread the word! A Formula SAE car weighs 350 to 450 lbs with horsepower figures ranging from 50-80 hp. The 0-60 mph dash is in the mid 3 second range. The lateral acceleration of a FSAE car can be as high as 2g's with braking from 60 t

o 0 mph in about 115 ft. These performance numbers will leave most streetcars in the dust. UWashington Formula SAE attends the West competition in Nebraska every June. Recent entrants include teams from USA, Canada, Mexico, Korea, Japan, and Europe.

T35 zoomed at AutoX, setting the fastest time of the day—and we dream to take T36 to competition in Germany this year to do the same, for the first time since T28. Every single screw, wire, and part of our car exists because of our supporters. We’ve been working tirelessly to push our car to unprecedented speeds, but we won’t make it to Germany without your help.

Your support is what powers our journey and keeps us racing toward our dreams! Help power us on our road to Germany: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/fundraising/2c98b383-c808-4a08-ae02-f186a001b20d

Radiators give us speed—especially when they're Mishimoto's.

We've been relying on Mishimoto Automotive to deliver the extra push that helps us pull a winning lap without worrying about overheating. Their radiators integrate with our racecar's cooling jacket and cold plate and help us maintain top speeds on the racetrack.

Thank you, Mishimoto!

It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the passing of our beloved faculty advisor, Professor Ashley Emery. For the past 25 years, Professor Emery has been a guiding figure of our team's efforts and achievements.

In celebration of his legacy, we invite you to watch this video tribute featuring memories and reflections from our alumni and engineers who have had the privilege of working closely with him.

Professor Emery was more than just an advisor; he was a mentor, a friend, and a true champion of our team through every challenge. Having an advisor for 25 years is exceptionally rare, and Professor Emery’s long tenure has been huge in shaping the team throughout our 35-year history.

Thank you, Professor Emery, for your unwavering dedication and inspiration. You will always be remembered and missed.

The team was down for the count, and we thought it was all over after Friday but… we still had one more chance in Endurance. We took that chance and bolted.

1st - Endurance
3rd - Skidpad
3rd - Business
7th - Overall

Coming out of Friday, T35 still had a lot to prove. Over the 22km of Endurance, we passed nine cars on track, setting extremely quick and consistent lap times. Our first driver ran the fastest lap time out of 38 cars that were eligible for Endurance. After completing Formula SAE’s greatest challenge, the team celebrated by singing the national anthem with great pride. 🏁🇺🇸

We are so proud to have placed in the top 10 for the second year in a row. The work we’ve put in this whole year has accumulated to our success this year, and we’ve learned a lot along the way. We are ready to hit the ground running and build a faster, lighter, and stronger car next year.

We’d like to extend our gratitude to all our partners, friends and family that propel this team forward.

Even though it’s a wrap for T35, summer is here and there is no time to rest. T36, here we come. And remember, it's not over until over. GO DAWGS!!! WOOF WOOF!!
