Origin
Established in 1989, Zips Racing is the Formula SAE team of The University of Akron. It was founded to provide students with hands on experience and show how what they learn in class can be applied to working in industry. Every year students design and build a racecar to compete in competitions around the world.
The University of Akron is home to the only Formula SAE Combustion and Electric teams in Northeast Ohio. The team has competed nationally and internationally against collegiate powerhouses and is consistently ranked among the top winning teams.
