Warrior Racing is a student organization at Wayne State University composed of both undergraduate and graduate students from diverse disciplines. The team designs, manufactures and markets an open-wheel race car against other universities nationally. The competitions include dynamic and static events to test the team's knowledge of design, manufacturing and marketing of the formula style racecar. Over the years, the team has attended numerous competitions at Formula Michigan, Formula West, Formula North and has even gone aboard to Formula UK. Warrior Racing provides students with a great opportunity to learn about engineering design, and manufacturing for engineering majors. Each component of the car is designed by students and manufactured in our Formula SAE shop at Wayne State University. Along with the engineering majors, Warrior Racing also has a business side which includes accounting, web development, marketing, and media. There are many different roles within the team and Warrior Racing always encourages students to join..
