Description
Every year, the Baja SAE team at the University of San Diego is tasked with designing and fabricating a single seat off-road car to compete in national competitions, where teams from universities around the nation compete in multiple events at different locations in the U.S. This year, the team decided to participate in two competitions in Rochester and Tennessee. Teams will be competing in different events such as the endurance race, the hill climb, the sled pull, a maneuverability course, and an acceleration test. This year, the team plans to be more competitive and challenge the nation's best with the best USD-built car the school has ever seen. This includes designing a new lighter chassis, creating an updated suspension that has more travel than previous designs, machining a custom gear box, and much more. This is where you come in! Since this project is not industry sponsored, we are in charge of getting the funding to help us achieve our goal. Any funding received will be used to help the team directly with materials needed to fabricate the car, as well as traveling to the competitions and representing USD and all of you who donated!
Donations are applied to...
This year, the Torero Racing Team has some big plans. Our new design will be built from the ground up with fully upgraded components. Donations to this year’s team will be used to buy the material and parts necessary for building a new buggy, as well as covering the registration and travel fees needed to compete. We plan on building our frame from scratch, which will require lots of steel. In addition, we will be equipping the frame with a new gearbox and four wheel drive system, as well as upgraded suspension and onboard telemetry. These improvements are costly, but they will give our team a competitive advantage in the upcoming race.

Why are donations necessary?
The Baja SAE team at the University of San Diego is not industry sponsored like other senior projects are.
