Team Description

Jayhawk Motorsports is a student organization within the School of Engineering at the University of Kansas. For over 20 years, students have designed and built award-winning racing vehicles. Each year, cross-disciplinary teams build vehicles to take to international competitions against other universities. The vehicles are judged on a wide variety of criteria such a design, performance and marketing. Students gain experience in project management, design, manufacturing, testing and perhaps most imporantly, teamwork. Since 2011, Jayhawk Motorsports has built two cars each year, one electric and one combustion car. Also, Jayhawk Motorsports manufactured its first carbon fiber chassis in 1998, and has since become the longest running FSAE team to build a carbon fiber chassis in-house.
