Who is UNH Precision Racing?

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

What is Formula SAE?

Formula SAE is an engineering anddesign competition sponsored by theSociety of Automotive Engineers (SAE) aswell as the big three automobilemanufacturers in the United States: GM,Ford, and Daimler/Chrysler. Thecompetition is based upon the design,manufacturability, and performance of astudent-constructed, open-wheel race carmarketed for the cost-minded weekend auto-crosses.Each year, a new chassis must befabricated in accordance with specific

guidelines set forth by a board of SAEofficials and representatives from the bigthree 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 tobe presented with the vehicle at competition. This competition is not all about building and drivinga fast car, it s about creating the best package to sell to a potential auto manufacturer for massproduction.

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 alsoother Formula SAE competitions springing up in other parts of the world; Formula SAE West inCalifornia, Formula Student in England, Formula Australasia, Formula Japan, Formula Brazil, andFormula Italy are the competitions available for the 2012-2013 season. With the right blend ofperformance, reliability, and sponsorship, UNH Precision Racing could be competing in more ofthese Formula events in the near future.

Benefits of Sponsorship Any contribution to the team,

whether monetary or material,is completely tax-deductible.

Sponsors will receive local, national, andinternational attention. The level ofsponsorship is matched with an equalamount of exposure. At the most basic level,you will receive nationwide (and potentiallyworldwide) advertising on the side of a high-performance race car. Sponsorship decals will

be seen by several thousand aspiring engi-neers as well as representatives from allcorners 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 withinvaluable experience and education in a real-world project as they prepare to move from universitywork to a job in industry.

The unique opportunity of helping a fifth year program allows your organization not only to be thecornerstone of what is becoming a major facet of the engineering program at UNH, but a majorcontender in the annual competition.

As UNH Precision Racing continues to grow, yoursupport will undoubtedly be recognized as the founda- tionfor what will prove to be a promising future for many UNHstudents 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 onthe design, test, and construction phases of the project.
