Who is UNH Precision Racing?

UNH Precision Racing is a team dedicated to designing, testing, building, and competing an openwheeled race car. As a recognized student organization, the UNH Precision Racing team, now in its eighth year, is comprised of various majors and currently serves as a senior project for both mechanical and electrical engineers. The project provides invaluable hands-on experience in automotive design as well as project management and experience to all its participants.

What is Formula SAE?

Formula SAE is an engineering and design competition sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) as well as the big three automobile manufacturers in the United States: GM, Ford, and Daimler/Chrysler. The competition is based upon the design, manufacturability, and performance of a student-constructed, open-wheel race car marketed for the cost-minded weekend autocrosses.Each year, a new chassis must be fabricated in accordance with specific guidelines set forth by a board of SAE officials and representatives from the big three auto manufacturers The rules force the team to be run like a business full documentation on the manufacturing cost, design methodologies, a sales pitch, as well as a thorough cost and design review are required to be presented with the vehicle at competition. This competition is not all about building and driving a fast car, its about creating the best package to sell to a potential auto manufacturer for mass production. This year, the annual competition will be held at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan, where 120 registered teams from all over the world will come to compete. With participants from Japan to England, Formula SAE really is a worldwide competition. There are also other Formula SAE competitions springing up in other parts of the world; Formula SAE West in California, Formula Student in England, Formula Australasia, Formula Japan, Formula Brazil, and Formula Italy are the competitions available for the 2012-2013 season. With the right blend of performance, reliability, and sponsorship, UNH Precision Racing could be competing in more of these Formula events in the near future.

Benefits of Sponsorship
Any contribution to the whether monetary or is completely tax-deductible. team, material,

2007s Car 42 and 2006s Car 49 at the Wilcox Ind. Company Cookout

Sponsors will receive local, national, and international attention. The level of sponsorship is matched with an equal amount of exposure. At the most basic level, you will receive nationwide (and potentially worldwide) advertising on the side of a highperformance race car. Sponsorship decals will be seen by several thousand aspiring engineers as well as representatives from all corners of motor sports from Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) Solo II, to Formula 1.

Your support demonstrates your commitment to providing aspiring engineers, publicists, marketing agents, computer programmers, accountants, and college students in general with invaluable experience and education in a real-world project as they prepare to move from university work to a job in industry. The unique opportunity of helping a fifth year program allows your organization not only to be the cornerstone of what is becoming a major facet of the engineering program at UNH, but a major contender in the annual competition.
As UNH Precision Racing continues to grow, your support will undoubtedly be recognized as the founda- tion for what will prove to be a promising future for many UNH students to come. Sponsors who decide to join UNH Precision Racing will help us tackle the first important hurdle of the project, funding. This would allow our creativity and ingenuity to be focused on the design, test, and construction phases of the project.

2014 Sponsorship Package

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

The team has experienced finishing the 22km endurance race, placing in the top 25% overall, 10th in design, 6th in fuel efficiency, and runner up for engineering drawings. The team has grown immensely from seven members in our first year to nearly 30 members this year, including many under- classmen to continue the program in upcoming years. Growth and development would not have been possible without dedicated sponsors.
