Design. Build. Compete.
At Gator Motorsports, the opportunity to design, manufacture, and build a Formula-style racecar is more than just an extracurricular pursuit, it is a passion. Each May, Gator Motorsports competes against 120 teams from all over the world in the Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (FSAE) design competition in Michigan. This competition assesses the team’s ability to not only engineer and produce a reliable, high-performance vehicle, but also its ability to organize and manage a team to develop a feasible product for market. Our program provides students with the technical, teamwork, and project management skills required to transition seamlessly into careers in industry.
Our Team
Since the team was founded by a few students working out of a shed in 1991, we have grown to become an organization focused on raising well-rounded engineers with hands on experience and a strong technical knowledge base. Despite so many students coming and going throughout the years, the team maintains a constant design philosophy of elegance through simplicity and cost effectiveness. This has remained paramount to the success of every generation of young engineers that has been a part of our program.

Without sponsors, alumni, and supporters, our team would not be able to exist or compete at its current level. The ideas and resources our supporters provide enable us to create new learning opportunities as we work as a team to design, manufacture, test, and present a formula race car.
