On any given night, you’ll find a room full of Gator Motorsports team members working with all sorts of machines: lathes, saws and welders. In one corner of the workshop sits the object of their labor, the skeleton of a miniature Formula-1 car: the F16. In May, the students of Gator Motorsports will wheel out the completed race car in the Formula SAE Michigan competition, an event in which 120 teams from around the world pit their car designs against each other to see who can build the fastest, most efficient and most economical car.
