Who is UNH Precision Racing?

UNH Precision Racing is a team dedicated to designing, testing, building, and competing anopen-wheeled race car. As a recognized student organization, the UNH Precision Racingteam, now in its eighth year, is comprised of various majors and currently serves as a seniorproject for both mechanical and electrical engineers. The project provides invaluable hands-onexperience in automotive design as well as project management and experience to all itsparticipants.

What is Formula SAE?Formula SAE is an engineering and

design competition sponsored by theSociety of Automotive Engineers (SAE)as well as the big three automobilemanufacturers in the United States: GM,Ford, and Daimler/Chrysler. The com-petition is based upon the design,manufacturability, and performance of astudent-constructed, open-wheel racecar marketed for the cost-mindedweekend auto-crosses. Each year, anew chassis must be fabricated inaccordance with specific guidelines set

forth by a board of SAE officials andrepresentatives from the big three automanufacturers.

The rules force the team to be run like a business full documentation on the manufacturingcost, design methodologies, a sales pitch, as well as a thorough cost and design review arerequired to be presented with the vehicle at competition. This competition is not all aboutbuilding and driving a fast car, its about creating the best package to sell to a potential automanufacturer for mass production.

This year, the annual competition will be held at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn,Michigan, where 120 registered teams from all over the world will come to compete. With

participants from Japan to England, Formula SAE really is a worldwide competition. There arealso other Formula SAE competitions springing up in other parts of the world; Formula SAEWest in California, Formula Student in England, Formula Australasia, Formula Japan, FormulaBrazil, and Formula Italy are the competitions available for the 2012-2013 season. With theright blend of performance, reliability, and sponsorship, UNH Precision Racing could becompeting in more of these Formula events in the near future.

Sponsors will receive local, national,and international attention. The levelof sponsorship is matched with anequal amount of exposure. At the mostbasic level, you will receive nationwide

(and potentially worldwide) advertisingon the side of a high-performance racecar. Sponsorship decals will be seenby several thousand aspiring engi-neers as well as representatives fromall corners of motor sports from SportsCar Club of America (SCCA) Solo II,to Formula 1.

Your support demonstrates your commitment to providing aspiring engineers, publicists,marketing agents, computer programmers, accountants, and college students in general withinvaluable experience and education in a real-world project as they prepare to move fromuniversity work to a job in industry.

The unique opportunity of helping a fifth year program allows your organization not only tobe the cornerstone of what is becoming a major facet of the engineering program at UNH,but a major contender in the annual competition.

As UNH Precision Racing continues to grow, yoursupport will undoubtedly be recognized as the founda-tion for what will prove to be a promising future formany UNH students to come.

Sponsors who decide to join UNH Precision Racing willhelp us tackle the first important hurdle of the project,funding. This would allow our creativity and ingenuity tobe focused on the design, test, and constructionphases of the project. Team Promotional Banquet
