MESA BAJA
American River College · Baja SAE
What is Baja SAE?
Baja SAE is a collegiate design competition run by SAE International. Every team gets the same 10 hp engine and one year to design, build, and race a single-seat off-road vehicle.
Cars are scored on design, cost, and a sales presentation, then raced through acceleration, maneuverability, a hill climb, and a four-hour endurance event over rough terrain.
What do we do?
We are ARC MESA Baja, a Baja SAE team at American River College, funded through the college’s MESA program. We design, build, test, and race the car ourselves — frame, suspension, drivetrain, electronics, and the business case behind it.
This is our first season. We are recruiting on every subteam, and no experience is required.
Join us
We are looking for students from every major — engineering, business, marketing, and media all have a place on the team. You do not need experience to start.
The fastest way in is our Discord. Say hello there and we will tell you when the next meeting is.
