Your Support Matters
Anteater Electric Racing is gearing up for an exciting 2027 season as we prepare to compete at the Formula SAE Electric Vehicle (FSAE EV) competition in Michigan in June. This event brings together top engineering teams from around the world to design, build and race fully electric, formula-style vehicles. The competition challenges students to advance electric vehicle technology through innovation, performance and efficiency.
Our team is currently finalizing designs for this year’s vehicle, with fabrication and assembly taking place all throughout the year. Your continued support empowers our students to bring these designs to life, push the limits of electric vehicle performance and proudly represent UC Irvine on the national stage.
