Eagle Motorsports is comprised of a diverse group of students representing almost all colleges of the University. Join Our Team as a Sponsor!

Georgia Southern University's Formula and Baja SAE Team, are driven to educate students from all backgrounds in diverse ways that prepare them for industry

Come check out our new website: https://eagle-motorsports.myshopify.com/ In affiliation with Georgia Southern University, we would like to introduce you to Eagle Motorsports: Georgia Southern University's premiere student based competition race team. Team members participate annually in two international collegiate competitions: Formula SAE®, and BAJA SAE®. The competitions challenge students to budget, design, manufacture, test, market and race 2 purpose built racecars: an open-wheel, Formula 1 style vehicle, and an off-road, all-terrain vehicle. The events are sanctioned by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Students acquire practical design experience, hands-on manufacturing skills, and in-depth technical knowledge by working on the vehicles throughout the year while collaborating with real-world companies at the forefront of racing innovation. The vehicles are built from the ground up as a team over a period of one year, then taken to the competitions to compete against over 130 other colleges and universities from around the world in a rigorous series of static and dynamic events to put the vehicle, its driver, pit crew, and marketing team, and the engineering behind the vehicle to the ultimate test. Judges for these events are veteran Automotive Engineers from a variety prestigious companies such as Honda, Toyota, Ford, Bosch, Cummins, Briggs and Stratton, and Polaris, putting students face-to-face with some of the most experienced Engineers in the industry. The competitions provide an appropriate forum for students to develop their public speaking, marketing, and networking skills alongside hundreds of current professionals and future engineers. Working on a true race team, students gain unparalleled real-word experience, aiding them in the transition from academic surroundings to professional careers. Eagle Motorsports boasts that all past dedicated members have acquired jobs in the engineering field even before graduation. Eagle Motorsports has the proven skill and passion to place alongside the best student racing teams in the world, and the desire to expand the team’s image within the University. Please feel free to obtain further information by visiting our official website (eaglesae.com), check out our videos (http://www.youtube.com/user/EagleMotorsportsGSU), or visit SAE's Collegiate Design Series website (http://students.sae.org/cds/) for more information on the competition. We are always looking for new ways to stay competitive. Past sponsors have helped provide food for the team at competitions and throughout the year, assisted the team in locating lodging nearby our competition sites across the U.S., and even assisted in providing materials or advanced manufacturing work to help our car outperform the rest! If you would like to make a tax deductible donation to help us cover the various costs associated with getting the team and the vehicles to and from competition safely, please message us for more information.

Our Baja captain for the 2026-2027 season is Drew Hernandez! He is a 3rd year on the team, and is majoring in mechanical engineering! He oversees the vehicle coming together. Guiding each subsystem through design, manufacturing, and testing over the season to reach competition day!

Our Suspension lead is Baxter Keib! He is a 3rd year on the team and is a mechanical engineering major. His subsystem controls the handling and maneuverability of the vehicle, soaking up bumps and obstacles, and keeps the car planted during turns.

Our Drivetrain Lead is Jayden Ceaser, a 2nd year on the team. Jayden is a mechanical engineering major! His subsystem is the core of driving the vehicle. It affects acceleration and top speed. Drivetrain ensures that the vehicle is getting an adequate amount of power supplied by the powertrain, and that the vehicle can run at top efficiency with minimal power loss.

Our Steering Lead is Carl Febrache! He is a 2nd year on the team and is a mechanical engineering major. This position is a brand new addition to our team! His subsystem controls the vehicle’s direction, provides tactile feedback to the driver, and ensures agile handling across rough off-road terrain within competition radius requirements.

Our Data Acquisition Lead is Aiden Snyder! He is a 3rd year on the team and a Computer Science major. His subsystem uses various sensors, computer software, and custom-built testing stands to collect and process data for subsystem validation.

Our Brakes lead is Matt Sandberg! He is a 2nd year on the team, and a mechanical engineering major! Brakes are a crucial system for creating a safe vehicle, preventing accidents, and slowing the vehicle to a safe stop under any track conditions.

Last but not least our Chassis and Ergo lead is Zach Stratford! He is a 2nd year on the team and a mechanical engineering major. He is responsible for the overall roll cage and component mounting for the entire vehicle. The frame supports mounting locations for each component of the vehicle, offering protection

Take a peek inside the shop!! This month, the design and testing stage for the upcoming season is in full swing.

Baja has been focusing on designing the next car while using our old car for coastdown and suspension testing. The team is very excited to use this data to create an even better car!

Formula has officially frozen their full car model for the upcoming season! The team is now prepping their engine and testing different layups for their seat. The team is excited to further their progress and to start manufacturing soon!
