History

1987
The FSAE Racing Team at Cornell was born in 1986. Professor Albert R. George became the faculty advisor and about a dozen mechanical engineering students hit the books and designed a racing car from scratch. In 1987, the first racecar was completed, developed, and raced. The team took an impressive third place finish out of approximately thirty cars that had entered the competition that year. Cornell was awarded Rookie-of-the-Year honors and gained the confidence and respect needed to charge into the next season.
The Story
Cornell’s FSAE Racing Team was established in 1986. Professor Albert R. George became the faculty advisor overseeing approximately a dozen mechanical engineering students who began researching and designing a racecar from scratch. Since then, the team has grown substantially and has been greatly diversified. Today, an average Cornell FSAE team is compromised of about 40 undergraduate and graduate students and has had participating members from nearly every school within Cornell. Below you will find the 21 year evolution of Cornell Racing. The team’s dedication, commitment, and tireless effort will help to continue Cornell’s winning tradition well into the future.
