McGill Racing Team

The McGill Racing Team is a group of undergraduate engineering students at McGill University. Every year, we design, develop, build and race a new formula-style racing car to participate in the several Formula SAE competitions: FSAE Michigan, FSAE Lincoln, Formula North, Toronto FSAE Shootout, and Formula Student Germany. These extremely competitive events include over 120 colleges and universities from around the world, exchanging ideas, creations, and concepts. The McGill Racing Team was established in 1994, new students from different branches of engineering (mechanical, electrical, computer, civil and materials) and other faculties join the team each year, eager to learn new skills and ideas that will benefit them in their future careers. This extra-curricular activity is a great opportunity to apply knowledge learned in class, and develop teamwork, project management and problem solving abilities. While our objectives may seem lofty for an extracurricular activity, the organization, knowledge and teamwork crafted from the success and failure of motorsport competition is exhaustive. In September 2017, McGill Racing Team was formally merged with McGill EV to form McGill Formula Electric. The two teams now build one electric prototype.
