CWRU Motorsports

In the middle of summer break, the team traveled from all around the country to Mechanicsville, Maryland for the second competition of the season. They trudged through the humidity, thunder, and pouring rain, earning P1 Design for the second time this season, and another podium in Endurance (P2). Overall, the team placed 6th out of nearly 100 teams, results that show how much the team has learned and engineered over the year. As the team welcomes new members to attend competitions and bids farewell to their beloved seniors, they are excited to iterate on SR25 in preparation for the last competition of the season in October. CWRU Motorsports appreciates all of the support from their school, sponsors, families, and friends. Wish the team luck for their last competition in South Carolina! #cwru #cwruengineering #cwrumotorsports #baja #bajasae #sae Case Western Reserve University Case School of Engineering at Case Western Reserve University BMT Aerospace Fox Factory Case Alumni Association Jergens, Inc.

📣 2024 Recap! 📣 The 2024 season was truly a fun one, securing the team an overall finish of 6th place in Pennsylvania and Michigan and 9th place in California. The most notable accomplishment from this year is a three-time 1st place Acceleration finish across all three season competitions. A few additional highlights from these events include: a 1st place Hill Climb finish, and a 2nd place Maneuverability finish, and top 5 Suspension and Design finishes in California. In Pennsylvania, we also finished top 5 in Design and Maneuverability. In addition, we secured a 3rd place finish in Hill Climb and top 7 finishes in Design, Suspension, and Endurance in Michigan. At the California competition we had an incredibly sandy weekend, and were on the edge of our seats to watch the new car perform. In spite of the weather, the team acquired a 1st place in the Overall Dynamic event as well as performing well in the Design event, making it to finals. In Pennsylvania, we were pinned against more than just the cars of the other teams. We were faced with major trailer problems that continued into the next school year. But thanks to the efforts of our members and outside help, we are now set with a fully repaired trailer going forward. Aside from that, competing against a total of 107 teams we achieved an overall 6th place finish. As the last race of the 23-24 school year, we said goodbye to our graduating seniors and started preparing for the summer. Huge thanks to Ian Dyke, Jamie Berman, Gaurav Mittal, Franny Coughlin, Jaffer Ali and all the other graduating seniors for their work and contributions to the team this year and in the past! Following the long summer break, we shook down the whole car and reevaluated specific failures to be fully prepared for our last competition of the season in Michigan. We began the weekend with promising placements in the dynamic events and were able to go through all the endurance race with no major part failures. During endurance we finished 53 total laps and ended in 6th position. This allowed the team to get 6th place overall.   Going into the 24-25 school year we also had the privilege of bringing 3 running cars to Butler Bash, an off-season competition hosted by Grove City College. This was a super fun learning experience for new members as well as a good testing experience for old cars. We ended with a 1st place finish with the 2024 car and good performances from our older cars as well. Thanks so much to all our sponsors for allowing us to do what we do! Without them we wouldn’t be able to attend all 3 SAE competitions and additional events which provide amazing learning opportunities for the whole team. We can’t wait to see what the 2025 car will bring for our team and we will use all the momentum from these successes to drive us to greater heights! 🎉🏎🛠 #bajasae #cwrumotorsports #cwru
