FSAE is a International Intercollegiate competition. We race in Virginia, Michigan Speedway (main race), and the Redbull invitational in Alabama. There are also hubs in Europe, Australia, and Asia.
Yes these things are a doozy to design. Youd be shocked at the stuff us "drunk college kids" think about when designing these 
BTW...as im 10 minutes ago...the 2009 car has launch control |
Most every engineering field has this type of national competition. For Civil Engineering (and some Mechanicals) our national competition was a concrete canoe. I think they still do this one.
Its a great way for students to actually apply theorums and the knowledge they have gained.
