The Formula SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) is a design-based competition that is attended by universities throughout the world. The competition is for engineering students to conceive, design, fabricate, construct, test, and market a prototype formula-style racecar. The objective of this paper is to discuss some of the aspects of entering and competing effectively in the competition. At the end of this paper some aspects of engineering mechanics carried out by students in the suspension group are discussed. The model of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) is featured.
