Sooner Racing Team Finishes in Top 10 at International Event

In June, the Sooner Racing Team (SRT) placed in the Top 10 at Formula SAE Nevada. Held at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, 40 teams from across the globe took part with the University of Oklahoma finishing eighth. Nine OU students comprised this year’s winning team. 

“This year was a big year for OU as it was the first time in many years that we placed in the Top 10,” said Mrinal Saha, aerospace and mechanical engineering professor who serves as SRT adviser. 

“I’m extremely pleased with the Formula SAE results. This competition allows our students to use their knowledge to design and build formula-style race cars.”
 
Formula SAE is a design competitive sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers.

The Sooner Racing Team was formed in 1994. Since then, the team has competed in every FSAE event since 1995 but 1998. To learn more about the Sooner Racing Team, email soonerracingteam@ou.edu or visit sae.ou.edu.
