Bruin Racing Information

Founded in 2010 by a group of ambitious UCLA students across the SAE College Design Series teams, Bruin Racing (previously UCLA Racing) aims to complement its members' theoretical educations with real-world experience by building competition standard cars to compete against universities from across the world. Initially a joint operation of SuperMileage Vehicle SAE and Baja SAE, Bruin Racing has expanded to encompass the Formula SAE team as well. This expansion has enabled students to engage in manufacturing vehicles within different principles: ruggedness, speed and efficiency. By participating in the design, construction, and testing of a prototype vehicle, Bruin Racing members gain hands-on experience that teaches them the practical and teamwork skills necessary to succeed in industry. Students learn every aspect of developing a vehicle, eventually choosing a technical area to specialize in. They also learn important business skills such as accounting, purchasing, and securing funding, making them multi-talented and well-prepared for entrepreneurship opportunities. With the skills and experience gained participating in our club, our alumni have gone on to find great success in all areas of the workforce.
