IT TAKES A LOT TO BUILD A RACECAR
LET'S MEET THE RFR25 TEAM
RFR25 TEAM
Each year Rutgers Formula Racing fundraises, designs, builds, and races a new formula-style car. RFR is broken into 12 crossfunctional subteams each responsible for an assembly on the car.
This year is RFR's 36th year and will mark its third year as an electric formula team.
EXECUTIVE BOARD
RFR's leaders, and problem solvers. Nothing gets past these guys.
They oversee the entire operation from sponsors to finances, timelines, vehicle designs, and more.
