Mission
At Spartan Racing, we’re more than just a student team—we’re a group of passionate individuals working together to design, build, and race a formula-style car from the ground up. Based at San José State University, we create a space where students from all backgrounds can learn by doing, challenge themselves, and grow both technically and professionally. Our mission is to build a competitive car, support each other as a team, and represent SJSU with pride at Formula SAE competitions. Along the way, we gain real experience, form lasting connections, and have a lot of fun doing what we love.
