Who We Are

Rainbow Warrior Racing is a team of mechanical and electrical engineers from the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa dedicated to producing a high performance electric vehicle that competes at one of the most prestigious collegiate design competitions in the world. Over the span of a year, members design, manufacture, and test a fully functional electric race car that prides itself on performance, reliability, and safety. This project culminates in an appearance at the FSAE EV competition, in which Rainbow Warrior Racing looks to faithfully represent the State of Hawai’i on the international level.


What is FSAE?

Founded by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), Formula SAE (FSAE) is an annual collegiate competition where university students around the world collaborate in teams to design, build, and compete a small Formula One style racecar. The competition is composed of Static Events and Dynamic Events.

Static Events

Static Events are the events that do not focus on the performance of the car, but are scored by three presentations by the team. These presentations include the engineering design of the car, the cost and manufacturing of the car, and a fictional business presentation.

Dynamic Events

Dynamic Events are the events in which the car’s performance is demonstrated through several driving tests. During these dynamic events, team’s vehicles are scored by their acceleration, maneuverability, handling, cornering ability, and efficiency.
