BEARCAT BAJA
MISSION
We’re Changing the Way the World Thinks About Cars
Students learn to apply their education to a demanding project that requires strict time management, budgeting, team organization, precise design, and careful execution of the build. Through the process of taking a design from the concept stages to a tested and raced product, students learn what it takes to be successful in a competitive environment.
COMPETE. SURVIVE. WIN
The Baja SAE® competitions involve many dynamic events, such as acceleration, maneuverability and suspension trials, but culminate in a 4-hour endurance race. The overarching goal is to design and build a vehicle that will survive the punishment imposed
through 4 hours of negotiating this rough terrain, inclusive of logs, jumps, mud, rocks and
much more.
Each race is limited to 100 schools, and only a small fraction of those complete the full 4 hours.
