University of Saskatchewan · Baja SAE

Engineered on the prairie. Proven in the dirt.

USask Baja SAE is a new student team designing, building, and racing a single-seat off-road vehicle in the Baja SAE collegiate design series.

Our mission

Our mission is to design, build, and race a competitive off-road vehicle, and through that work give University of Saskatchewan students the hands-on engineering, manufacturing, and leadership experience a classroom alone cannot.

    The car, by the numbers

    Our first car is still on the drawing board. These numbers fill in as the design is finalized.

    The competition

    What is Baja SAE?

    Baja SAE is an intercollegiate competition run by SAE International. Student teams design and build a small off-road vehicle and then put it to the test, both in front of industry judges and on punishing terrain.

    01

    Design

    Students engineer the frame, suspension, drivetrain, and controls from the ground up.

    02

    Build

    Every tube is cut, welded, and machined by the team itself.

    03

    Compete

    Design reviews, a business presentation, and dynamic events ending in a four-hour endurance race.

    Follow the build

    Watch the car come together, from the first sketch to race day.
