Would anyone be interested to see a build thread on a Formula SAE car? I will be heavily involved in the construction of my school's race car for this season, and am more than happy to share how a race car is constructed by (mostly) total amateurs.

I would love to see this. I'm a high school student who is very interested in a program like this once college rolls around.

I sure would! FSAE cars are some of the most interesting race cars out there.

Does a one legged duck swim in a circle?

Does a bear E36 M3 in the woods?

Ask and you shall receive. Here is some photos from our last season of competition, not me in the seat yet but those will be coming this weekend.

By the way, how does one change a topic name?

One does not. You can email the powers that be, but it might be easier to just start a new thread.

I have gone down the making a new thread route, but thanks for the offer Mojo. Good to know the mods here are cool right off the bat.

We built a electric powered 3wheel bike to race a similar track when I was in school. The hardest part was convincing the teacher let us put the 2 weeks upfront over the rear.

Keep the updates coming
