Berkeley Formula Racing

Berkeley Formula Racing (BFR) is a student-run organization at UC Berkeley that designs, manufactures, and competes with a formula-style race car against 120 other collegiate teams from around the world. BFR provides its students the opportunity to enhance their engineering design and project management skills through practical application. The team consists of nine different subsystems (Aerodynamics, Brakes and Driver Interface, Business, Chassis, Drivetrain, Electrical, Engine, Suspension, and Vehicle Dynamics) that work together over the school year to prepare for the Formula SAE Michigan competition in Brooklyn, MI every May.  During the annual FSAE competition, the vehicles are judged in four different categories: static inspection, engineering design, solo performance trials, and high-performance track endurance.
