A New fSEA Car Is Under Construction

The fSAE team is working on a new car, aiming at the competition scheduled for May 13 through 16 at the Michigan Motor Speedway sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers. The team this year comprises team captain Jon Scales, Eric Rickert, Bob Dynan, Kevin Zheng, George Bongart, and Greg LaPointe.

Eric Rickert adjusts the seat of CETA's fSAE racecar.

While construction on the car is going according to plan and should be done in time for the competition, the team is in need of assistance to support the work they’re doing. United Tool & Die, of West Hartford, Connecticut, has given them the space to work and the use of many machines, but other tools or money would help. To contact the team, please see their website here or email the captain, John Scales at scales.hartford.edu.

CETA is excited at the progress the team has made on the car this year and is looking forward to rooting them on at the races in May.
