Formula SAE (FSAE) is a collegiate design competition organized by Society of Automotive Engineers of China (SAE-China) in which students design, build, test and race formula -style cars against students of other colleges/universities. The competition requires teams to participate in static and dynamic events. The static events include a cost analysis, engineering design, and a business presentation, and the dynamic events include acceleration, skid pad, autocross, and endurance/fuel economy. The 2017 FSAE engaged the largest participation since its start in 2010, attracting 128 teams nationwide for the events including top Chinese universities of Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University, Jilin University, Tongji University, etc.
