Mines Formula

Special thanks to our mothers that support us in all our crazy endeavors including building our racecar. You make this all possible.

After years of design, we are proud to introduce our full carbon fiber steering wheel with bespoke electronics.

Welcome back. We ran a machine shop training to teach prospective formula members how we make parts for our car. More hands make less work.

Last chance! We only have 2 more days left in our campaign. With your help, we will be able to advance the team with carbon fiber suspension designed for this year. We live in an uncertain time but one thing will never change race cars are expensive.

Hello everyone,
We will transition to design for MF9 and working on some remote research and development projects for a while as we do our part to help slow the spread of COVID-19. We hope everyone is staying safe, and maybe the parts that we have made can bring some excitement into your life.

February was a productive month!! Here is a sneak peek of our 2020 chassis. We also got our 2020 floating rotors fully machined and ready to go.

Hello everyone,
We are well on our way to having many parts of this years formula SAE vehicle made.

We are happy to be back in the shop working on the designs for MF-8. Huge thank you to 3Dconnexion for helping us model parts in CAD like the professionals.

The 2019 competition was one of the most exciting in our history. We completed the technical inspection in record time and continued pushing through the safety checks. The brakes test caused a drivetrain failure, but the team pulled together and was able to fabricate the required parts to get the car running again. The car performed well in the dynamic events, particularly in the autocross, but various issues out of our control lost us a few positions. After performing very well in the endurance competition (setting quicker lap times than some of the top teams), a handful of parameters caused the vehicle to run out of fuel, forcing us to retire. Although this was upsetting, the team has been investigating the cause and is looking into solutions to prevent this failure on future vehicles.

Completed tech inspection and achieved our sub-500 lb weight goal. With a dry weight of 485 lbs, MF-7 is 25 lbs lighter than the previous MF-6 racecar.
