About Grand Prix Engineering

Rose-Hulman Grand Prix Engineering is a team operated entirely by students, which has the aim of developing young engineers outside the classroom through designing, manufacturing and racing formula-style cars.

The end goal is to compete in the Formula SAE competition, which integrates student innovation, ingenuity, team cooperation and the application of design processes.

Track Time

Seniors on Rose-Hulman’s Grand Prix Engineering team used their love of motorsports to create a capstone design project that resulted in a new and improved race car. The design team was joined by several underclassmen in building an all-new chassis, improving the fuel system for their one-cylinder engine, and fabricating a carbon fiber body. After many late nights designing new features and turning wrenches, the team took its vehicle for some track time at a local airport.
