SPONSORSHIP PACKET
2018-19
THE COMPETITION
Started in 1979, Formula SAE (FSAE) is an international competition for student groups who design,
manufacture, and race a formula-style car. Over 400 teams from universities worldwide participate
in races hosted all over the world. The entrants navigate through various static events, explaining
and defending their design decisions and manufacturing processes. Then, they compete in dynamic
events, testing their drivers’ abilities. Each team’s race car must excel in multiple categories to win
top honors at the Formula SAE Lincoln competition. Competitors are judged not only on the car’s
performance on the track, but also its engineering design, and marketability.
The structure of the competition is as follows:
STATIC EVENTS:
Engineering Design 150 points
Cost Analysis 100 points
Business Presentation 75 points
DYNAMIC EVENTS:
Endurance 275 points
Autocross 125 points
Efficiency 100 points
Acceleration 100 points
Skid-Pad 75 points
TOTAL: 1000 points
HIGHTLIGHTS 9-TIME MIS WORLD CHAMPIONS Nine-time World Champions, Cornell Racing has become synonymous with excellence. The team has competed at the Formula SAE Competition in Michigan for the past 31 years, at the University of Toronto Shootout for the past 8 years, and at Formula Student Germany in 2011. In May of 2018, Cornell Racing made the switch to an electric car and will be competing in the Formula SAE Competition in Nebraska.
THE CAR
For the 2018-2019 season, the ARG platform is undergoing the most comprehensive change seen
Cornell Racing history. The switch to an electric powertrain presents an exciting opportunity for the
students to expand their education into a growingly relevant field, and new performance horizons for
the car. For the chassis, ARG19 is deviating from the established 7/8 th’s monocoque and steel subframe
to a lighter and more elegant full-monocoque. The drive system will share a single motor, chain drive
configuration to ARG18 but the similarities end there. Our electric vehicle will run 600V from our
custom accumulator (battery package), through a high-performance inverter to our AC motor. ARG19
will output more than 10X the power of the average American home.

THE TEAM Cornell Racing is Cornell University’s Formula SAE team and one of FSAE’s top contenders. From our humble origins as Rookie of the Year in 1987, Cornell Racing has grown to become one of the most formidable teams in the world. With an unparalleled nine World Championship titles at FSAE Michigan and awards from the Society of Automotive Engineers, Road & Track magazine, Goodyear, Hoosier, and more. Cornell Racing is a strong presence in Formula SAE racing. The 2018-2019 team is formed of 60 students from a variety of majors. Each student brings something unique to the team; the union between diverse skill sets and strong team work forms the core of our team. Members individually spend at least 20 hours per week designing, building, and testing the car to meet international competition standards. During the month of January, team members forego their winter breaks and return to Ithaca, New York to manufacture the car and prepare for the upcoming competitions in the spring and summer. Additionally, over the summer months, up to a quarter of the team remains on campus to plan for the following season. Cornell Racing provides an unrivaled learning experience, that allows engineers to integrate classroom concepts with practical applications and compels students to overcome technical and collaborative challenges. The finished racecar is a testament to the team’s incredible work ethic and dedication.
THE LEADS Nico Demet Hometown: Lake Forest, IL Year: Senior, Class of 2019 Major: Mechanical Engineering Role: Team Lead/Powertrain Lead “Cornell Racing to me is a chance to learn more about engineering concepts taught in the classroom and learn new skills that are not. It is without a doubt the highlight of my experience at Cornell in terms of both learning and enjoyment, and has transformed my view of Cornell Racing from just a project to a passion.” Helen Jung Hometown: Richmond, VA Year: Senior, Class of 2019 Major: Mechanical Engineering Role: Co-Chassis Lead/Monocoque Lead “I joined Cornell Racing unsure of my interest in mechanical engineering, only to realize this is all I want to do with my future. Being on the team has provided me with not only an immense amount of technical knowledge and hands-on experience, but also a team I can call family. It's all about innovation, exceeding expectations, and most importantly, going faster.” Sebastian Bauco Hometown: Horseheads, NY Year: Senior, Class of 2019 Major: Mechanical Engineering Role: Co-Chassis Lead/Suspension Lead “Without a doubt, I can say that Cornell Racing operates the most exciting and complex undergrad engineering project at Cornell. Nearly all my technical engineering experience has come from this team, and I owe Cornell Racing for opening all the right doors in my engineering career. Work aside, Cornell Racing is also my home on campus, and the close friendships made on this team are what have kept me sane throughout my four years at Cornell.” Jacob Rigos Hometown: Great Neck, NY Year: Senior, Class of 2019 Major: Biological Engineering Role: Business Team Lead "Cornell Racing, for me, is the epitome of team-based work. I work with over 50 other extremely talented students who are unbelievably passionate about making the greatest formula style race car and have taught me more about communication and the value of team work than any other team, class, or program. In addition, I've been able to apply my engineering skills by designing the car's sidepod and hone my leadership skills by running the business team. I couldn't image my Cornell experience without FSAE!"
SPONSORSHIP
Cornell Racing FSAE relies on sponsors and could not have achieved its success without the support of its
partners. While Cornell University provides the team with laboratory space and testing facilities, the team’s
budget comes mostly from sponsors. Without such support, the team would not be able to produce a
race car.
VISIBILITY
Cornell Racing has been featured in magazines such as Road & Track, Winding Road, and Race Car, and
has been highlighted in a Discovery Channel special. The team and car, and therefore our sponsors, are
constantly promoted across Cornell’s campus and make regular appearances at national and international
Formula SAE competitions. Cornell Racing proudly promotes all of our sponsors on Facebook, Instagram,
and other social media pages.
NETWORKING
Cornell Racing reaches out to all our alumni through regular newsletters that prominently feature our
sponsors, and provides a channel for your business to be marketed to the immense Cornell University
alumni network. Your business will gain recruitment access to top engineering and business students at
Cornell University – an Ivy League school with a long history of distinction and a reputation that speaks
for itself.
Cornell University is a 501(c)(3) organization. All donations are tax deductible
