about baja sae
what is baja sae?
Baja SAE is an off-road racecar competition series organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Student teams from over 100 universities compete in multiple dynamic events, such as an endurance race, maneuverability course, sled pull, hill climb, and acceleration event. Teams are also judged for their work behind the scenes in design, sales, and cost. Baja is best way to build engineering, manufacturing, and leadership skills.
