Our Crowdfunding Groups
Rensselaer Motorsport has been working tirelessly since last spring to design and manufacture RM25. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 college campuses have been closing down across the country. We will be following the instruction of the school during this time. This has caused for a delay in completing the production of RM25. We will be back in the shop as soon as possible to complete the car. The FSAE Michigan Competition has cancelled in-person events but will still conduct a virtual competition for static events, which will provide valuable design feedback. We are working hard to do our best with this situation and prepare for the virtual competition. We will post another update once production of RM25 resumes!
“Rensselaer Motorsport provides an outlet for student engineers to explore their skills in an interactive environment. It allows unbridled creativity, and rewards innovation and attention to detail. Supporting Rensselaer Motorsport allows you to help provide this opportunity to engineers who wish to take a step beyond the curriculum and challenge themselves in preparation for a career of innovation to be ready to change the world.” – Daniel Nathan, Team Leader
Your donation allows the team to build this year’s car, RM25, by helping us buy the materials and parts we need to make team members' designs a reality. Without these parts, our team would not be able to successfully manufacture a competitive car from scratch each year.
Rensselaer Motorsport does more than just build a race car – we build better engineers. During their time on the team, members gain invaluable experience in the engineering design process, communication, teamwork, and more. These skills will serve them throughout their careers. The team gives Rensselaer students of all majors an opportunity to put what they’ve learned in classes to use, and lets them discover their skills and passions.
Your donation is directly used to further this process. With proper funding, the team can purchase cutting edge technology and materials that give students a massive head start when they enter industry. Additionally, donations allow members to experiment and test new designs that otherwise would not be financially viable.
To many members, Rensselaer Motorsport is more than a club that allows them to tinker with a race car. Building the car is a passion that requires dedication, perseverance, and ingenuity. While building RM25, many students will be introduced to concepts before they learn them in class. Anyone who has worked on designing or manufacturing components for the car will tell you that the knowledge and hands-on experience they gain simply could not be taught in a classroom.
In addition to the educational benefits, the team creates a close knit group that takes pride in our work. Rensselaer Motorsport has been a part of the Rensselaer community since 1992, and is proud to have a very strong and supportive alumni network. With your help, we can continue to grow the team and make sure that this amazing opportunity is provided to students at Rensselaer for years to come.
