A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WESTERN SYDNEY FORMULA SAE
WHO ARE WE?
Formula SAE-Australasia is a competition where university students design, build and compete in their very own Formula-style open wheeled racing car. The competition provides an environment for students to develop problem-solving and outcome-focused management skills in a resource-limited organisation, skills that the industry is seeking in the next-generation STEM workforce.
Our student-led team develop workplace knowledge like that of an engineering firm alongside skills in leadership, mentoring, STEM promotion and community engagement. It is our mission to support the evolution of student’s classroom theory into real world practices through practical based learning, preparing them for the modern workforce.

This will allow members of our team to attend carbon fibre workshops for up to 10 of our FSAE team members held within Western’s Kingswood Advanced Manufacturing facility. Opportunities such as this are crucial for development of our vehicle as creation of our carbon fibre bodies represents one of the final and most important and intensive stages of development and preparation for competition.
ADOPT A CELL
Our ‘Adopt A Cell’ campaign allows anyone to “adopt” one of our multiple cells that make up our Electric Vehicles (EV) battery. This “adoption” will entitle you to an area of space on the housing of the battery where your name can be laser engraved. This opportunity to have your name somewhere on the car is a great way for you to show your support, and have your name imprinted in the legacy of our team.
