Current Car
Each year, we dedicate ourselves to push the limits of performance
and build the next generation of racecars. Explore the vehicle we
have most recently completed below.
2022-2023 EV
In 2023, CUFR fully converted from building an internal combustion car to an electric car, and this past June was the first year attending the EV competition. We debuted at 31st place overall—this is unprecedented for a first-time electric vehicle team, as most do not even pass technical inspections. Not only did we pass, we also raced in 3/4 of the dynamic events, and got the highest design score for our brakes.

Our Past Cars
Explore the vehicles we have built in the past below.
2020-2021 EV
Columbia University Formula Racing re-designed our electric vehicle this year. After preparing our EV last year and realizing some design challenges, we decided to make big changes to the chassis, accumulator, and more.
2020-2021 IC
In addition to our electric vehicle, Columbia University Formula Racing decided to continue its legacy of racing IC cars. After over a semester of hard work in 2020 that was unfortunately interrupted, our team prepared and tested our car to compete in FSAE Michigan.
