Illini Electric Motorsports - 2024 Season
Donation protected
Hello, it's Illini Electric Motorsports, we're in the midst of our manufacturing season and we need your support! Whether you knew us as Illini Formula Electric or Illini Motorsports, we are still Illinois' FSAE team!
What's Coming
Every year we compete against teams from around the world at the annual Formula SAE competition in Michigan. This year we are building our next generation 4WD vehicle, now with a full carbon monocoque, new and improved in-hub gearboxes, and a custom 4WD torque vectoring algorithm!
Your Support
Donations will directly go towards funding materials, supplies, and general team costs associated with developing a FSAE vehicle and getting us competition ready.
Our Story
Illini Electric Motorsports began as Formula Hybrid in September 2009 and FSAE Illini Motorsports in 1979. The Illini Electric Motorsports team was created to provide a multi-disciplinary project for students interested in the rapidly growing field of hybrid vehicles. Since 1979 Illini Motorsports has been steadily accelerating towards becoming the world's #1 in Combustion Formula SAE, with a legacy starting in internal combustion.
Every year, hundreds of students across campus have assisted in making and breaking project milestones. In 2014 the team switched to an entirely electric vehicle design and rebranded to Illini Formula Electric. In the summer of 2023 Illini Formula Electric and Illini Motorsports consolidated to form a new organization focused on Formula Electric called Illini Electric Motorsports. With a rich history and forty-four years of experience across different vehicle technologies, Illini Electric Motorsports will continue the tradition of success and innovation.
