UWA Motorsports are a group of students from UWA comprised of up-and-coming talented engineers, technicians and busines professionals, pushing the limits of engineering to produce world-class electric racecars.
We compete in the annual FSAE-Australasia, a student business and design competition where teams from universities around the world compete in the designing, manufacturing, testing and racing of small formula-style racecars.
UWA Motorsport has had success at many of these global events in our distinguished history, dating back to our founding in 2001. The team has recently focused on competing in the Australasian event hosted in Victoria, but we are optimistic for our ability to compete on a global scale through the events held in Europe and North America.
The UWA Motorsports Team has been operating since 2001 and has been building electric vehicles since 2017.
Our participation in F-SAE events allows UWA students to develop the skills they learn in the classroom into practical engineering experiences.
The project requires a vast team to undertake the technical, operational and financial challenges that are inherent in a successful motorsport team. We provide an opportunity for sponsors to invest in the future of engineers and business professionals, through investing in students who will develop these technologies for the rest of their careers.
The team offers benefits for students from all areas of study. We don’t just make the car, but source parts and sponsors, manage and plan events, create and distribute marketing material, and much more.
