The Wisconsin Racing team plans to unveil their latest combustion and electric vehicles on Saturday, April 5, 2025 ahead of their annual competitions in May.
This year the combustion team has focused on reliability and intentional, iterative improvements, building on last year’s strong performance. The car came together quickly and the team is dedicated to maximizing testing time ahead of the May competition. This will be the last year Wisconsin Racing produces a combustion car, ending a legacy that started in the 1980s. This marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of an exciting, all-electric future.
The 2025 electric team has taken an impressive custom drivetrain system and integrated it into a brand-new composite monocoque. Paired with a lighter suspension and an upgraded battery featuring active cooling, this car also showcases innovation and engineering excellence.
The team has devoted hundreds of man-hours and worked tirelessly to push the limits of their abilities in an effort to achieve one goal: design, build, and compete to win Formula SAE Michigan (twice!).
The 2025 Unveiling event will take place on Saturday, April 5th starting at 3:30pm in Engineering Hall. Stay tuned to the team’s channels for more updates on their journey to competition! LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook | YouTube
