History

1990
1990 was a notable year of innovation for Cornell. The car was designed with active ground effects, meaning that a fan evacuated air from underneath the car to create downforce for better handling. Unfortunately, the car had not been finished in time to be fully developed. Despite this shortcoming, the car finished fifth overall from a growing field of about 45 cars.
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.
