Any large engineering project has numerous administrative responsibilities and concerns that need to be addressed. As a result, administration is a large part of Formula Motorsports with each student taking on both technical and administrative responsibilities. The main goals of the administrative teams are to train for the competition, promote the team, manage resources, and raise funds for the program. A large portion of the money that funds the program comes from corporate sponsors and alumni donations but the rest comes from team fundraising.
Public RelationsThe public relations group goal is to promote the team to the rest of the university and Seattle community. As the public face of the team, members of the PR team attend numerous events such as the Seattle International Auto Show, Engineering Discovery Days, Paws on Science, engineering society fairs, and student activity fairs. We love to show off our cars, tell people about what we do, and let people know how they can get involved in the project as part of the team or as a sponsor. Public relations is also responsible for the team website, newsletter, and press releasea, and the production various promotional materials including videos, t-shirts, and informational packets. |

Resource ManagementThe resource management team is responsible for the tracking, managing, and, in the case of computers, repairing all of the materials, software, computers, tools, etc. that the team has at its disposal. This demanding but essential team keeps the project running and provides the support necessary to design a racecar from scratch and then bring it from the computer screen to the track. |

Sponsorship and FundraisingThe sponsorship and fundraising team is responsible for procuring monetary, materials, and service donations from our various sponsors, as well as engaging in various fundraising opportunities. Our sponsors range from local to international engineering and manufacturing companies and it would be impossible to build the car without them. The sponsorship team works hard to maintain relationships with existing sponsors while constantly seeking to build new partnerships with companies.
