If you love getting your hands dirty with mud and grease, then UW Baja is for you! Every year the Baja SAE team designs and engineers an off-road racecar to compete in an international design competition. With focus on performance, reliability, and maneuverability, the car is designed, built, tested, and competed entirely by students. Each team is provided with a 10 HP Briggs and Stratton engine and is left free to design every other component of the vehicle as they desire. The vehicle must be able to handle logs, rocks, jumps, mud, sharp corners, hills and pretty much everything else. Recently the team placed 32/115 teams at this summer’s competition in El Paso, Texas.
