Formula SAE Car

http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~fsae/

Students design, fabricate, and compete with small formula-style race cars. The vehicles are judged in three different categories: static inspection and engineering design, solo performance trials, and high-performance track endurance.

Penn Electric Racing Team (formerly Solar Car Racing Team)

http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~electric/

Penn Electric Race Team is a student-run non-profit organization created with the vision of designing, building and racing an alternative energy car. Since the program’s inception, it has evolved into a diverse group of students whose purpose has expanded to being much more than a student-centered entity.
