Help Bruin Racing Baja build Model 24!

We are a team of UCLA undergraduate students working each year to design, build, and race a single-seat, high-performance off-road vehicle. Every year, over 80 undergraduate UCLA students, regardless of prior knowledge or background, have the opportunity to gain valuable real-world engineering team experience through Bruin Racing Baja.

Our members design our car from the ground up, starting with creating detailed computer models and drawings, progressing to machining and manufacturing, and finally assembling and testing our finished vehicle. Because our primary mission is providing engineering education for all students, we have never imposed applications or membership fees for Baja. This ensures that anyone can join our organization, and that our graduates are exceptionally well-prepared for their chosen careers post graduation.

To keep our zero-membership-fee promise, we're raising money to pay for the manufacturing and building of the car, as well as food, lodging, and transportation of our vehicles and ourselves to competition. We only receive limited funding from the university itself (less than 30 percent of our costs), so we rely on the generous support of sponsors and donors like yourself to make the Baja experience accessible to all UCLA students.

We hold the belief that engineering is within reach for everyone, and your participation in our campaign can empower our students to discover their own potential. The members of Baja represent some of UCLA's most talented engineers, and with your backing, we can sustain this opportunity for many more cars to come!
