Try Building a $70K Formula Race Car | Bobcat Racing at Texas State
What does it take to design, fund, and build a $70,000 Formula-style race car in college? In this episode of Try @ Texas State, we sit down with leaders from Bobcat Racing, Texas State University’s Formula SAE (FSAE) team, to talk about engineering, branding, sponsorships, and the year-long process of bringing a race car to life. From welding the chassis and designing electrical systems to securing major sponsors like Monster Energy and showcasing their car alongside Aston Martin, this student-led team proves that Bobcats don’t just study engineering — they build it. Whether you’re interested in mechanical engineering, public relations, business, or motorsports, this episode breaks down how students gain real-world experience, internships, and trackside opportunities through Bobcat Racing.
