Engineering grit. Building legacy. Racing towards the future.
Baja SAE is an intercollegiate engineering competition where student teams design, build, and race single-seat off-road vehicles from scratch.
Every component must be designed for durability, performance, and production viability — as if 4,000 units would be manufactured annually. It's not just about building a car. It's about engineering a solution.
Design presentations, cost reports, and sales pitches judged by industry engineers.
Put the car to the test. Speed, handling, endurance — all on brutal terrain.

UofT Baja Racing is founded. A group of passionate engineering students set out to build their first off-road vehicle.
The team enters their first Baja SAE competition, learning hard lessons about durability and teamwork.
With improved designs and a growing team, UofT Baja begins making a name in the competition circuit.
Operations wind down due to various challenges. The team goes dormant, but the spirit never dies.
A new generation of students resurrects UofT Baja. Fresh energy, new vision, same grit.
The road ahead. Our new car hits the track. This is where we prove ourselves.
"To provide University of Toronto students with hands-on engineering experience through the design, manufacture, and racing of a competitive off-road vehicle — building not just machines, but engineers."
