LSU FSAE EV Racing Team Leaves Michigan with Heads Held High
Perseverance is the perfect word to describe the 2025-26 LSU Formula SAE EV (Electric Vehicle) team. After failing to place in the top 70 last year at the Formula SAE Electric competition, this year's team decided that would not happen again. This past June, the team-- consisting of 26 LSU Engineering students from Mechanical (16), Electrical & Computer Engineering (7), Biological Engineering, Computer Science, and Information Systems and Analytics--gave it their all and placed 31st out of 100 at the 2026 Formula SAE Electric competition on the Michigan International Speedway.
