NUS Formula SAE

NUS Formula SAE NUS FSAE is open to Sponsorships and Collaboration. Do contact us at [email protected] for more info.

This project was started in 2001 when students wanted to build a racecar to participate in the FSAE intervarsity competition in USA. It has since evolved into an important educational component in our Engineering Faculty. Formula – Society of Automotive Engineers (F-SAE) is an annual inter-varsity competition organised by the Society of Automotive Engineers. It is an engineering design competition

where undergraduate students design, build and test a Formula-style race car and compete with universities from around the world. Every year, NUS Formula SAE has an average of 14 undergraduates involved in the project. These students design, fabricate, assemble, test and drive a brand new car over a period of 11 months. In the last month, they have the opportunity to fly to Michigan, USA for the annual FSAE race car competition. Apart from competing, with university students from around the world, in dynamic events such as acceleration and endurance, the students also pit their skills in static events such as design presentation, cost evaluation and marketing strategies. Evaluating them is a panel of professional automotive and motorsports engineers from around the world. The most rewarding part of the NUS FSAE race car project is providing students with a wealth of engineering knowledge and experience as well as practical hands-on skills to prepare them for working life. On top of that, the students are involved in project and finance management, further preparing them for a real-life engineering career. Students also learn to manage and balance time between the project, studies, and their loved ones. Most importantly, they learn the importance of teamwork, governance, and the impact of time schedules in their unified quest for excellence.

To our sponsors, thank you for your unwavering support, your belief in our team, and the opportunities you have given us to grow.

Following the recent season, we hosted our Annual Sponsor Appreciation Event to recognise the industry partners whose support has been pivotal throughout our journey. From designing and building R26e to transporting it to the USA, your partnership made this experience possible.

Success in racing is never a given, and this season reminded us that even well-established protocols can be challenged by unforeseen circumstances. After being unable to pass technical inspection due to waterproofing issues, we finished 39th. While the result was not what we had hoped for, the experience has given us valuable lessons to carry forward.

As NUS FSAE begins work on R27e, we do so with gratitude, optimism, and a stronger determination to keep pushing forward. We are grateful for your continued partnership and hope to build on it for many seasons to come.

Thank you to:

🏁 THE GRID IS OPEN. NUS FORMULA SAE IS RECRUITING. 🏁

Most engineering students learn theory. You're about to learn what happens when theory has to survive 75mph on a track in Michigan.

We're building R28e from the ground up, and we need hands that aren't afraid to get dirty.

⚡️ Electrical Systems — accumulator, BMS, motor control, PCBs
⚙️ Mechanical Systems — chassis, suspension, aero
👨🏼‍💻Software — real-time control, simulation
This isn't a classroom project. It's a car that either finishes the race or it doesn't, and every decision you make is on the line.

🛠 You'll work with the tools the industry actually runs on:
SolidWorks • Altium • ANSYS • MATLAB • Siemens

🧠 No experience? Good. Everyone on this team started exactly where you are. What matters is that you show up, ask questions, and build.
Bootcamp starts soon. Seats don't last.

Design. Build. Race.

The crate is open, the team is together in Michigan, and everything is exactly as it should be. DHL Express Singapore has been the logistics partner behind this from the very start, and their sponsorship is a big part of why we can keep doing what we do at this level.

Two teams, one standard. Thank you DHL for four years of making this happen. Here is to many more.

Despite the team's best efforts to troubleshoot down to the last minute, we were unable to pass the rain test and would not be able to compete in the dynamic events this season.
We are grateful to all our sponsors and supporters, and are sorry for letting you down. Nevertheless, this is a learning opportunity for the team and we are working to come back stronger with the R27e.

A huge thank you to DHL Express Singapore for sponsoring the shipment of this crate, collected straight from our workshop and now on its way to Michigan, US. Having a logistics partner we can rely on means we can put our full focus into the build, knowing the journey to the other side is in good hands.

Grateful for the support. Michigan, it is coming your way.

Meet the team behind the R26e. 🏎⚡️

Every late night in the workshop and every stressful test session was building up to this moment. We couldn't have pulled this off without the sheer dedication of this incredible team.

Huge thanks to Emeritus Professor Seah Kar Heng for your constant guidance and support from day one.

Here’s to the countless hours, the late-night fixes, and the people who made every second count.

Putting the R26e on the rig. 🔧 We’re running the new monocoque through its torsional rigidity test to validate our chassis stiffness targets. A stiffer chassis means razor-sharp handling when it counts. Stay tuned for the final numbers! 🏁

Massive thanks to our sponsor, Admiralty International Pte Ltd, for their invaluable support and expertise during the manufacturing phase. Pushing the limits of our chassis design wouldn't be possible without their hands-on help.

After months of design and manufacturing… We are proud to officially unveil the R26e! 🏎

Now equipped with BorgWarner Cascadia Motion’s CM200DX inverter and a brand new lightweight carbon fibre accumulator enclosure with a higher cell count, the R26e is ready to go faster than ever.

Peep the new sidepods 👀 which have been added to improve thermal performance, ensuring the driver is able to push the car to its limits. It doesn’t stop there; lighter suspension components and optimised geometry allow superior grip and handling while the aerodynamic package ensures the car cuts through air cleanly.

After all that, the R26e still weighs in at a low 199kg, with a monocoque design that optimises driver comfort and structural rigidity.

We can’t wait to see you all on track! 🏁
