2009 Unveiling Writeup
On Wednesday, April 8th, the Team 20 UW Formula SAE car was unveiled, with UW President Mark Emmert on hand for the presentation, remarking "I happen to like almost anything that’s purple and gold, but if it’s purple and gold and goes really fast, I like it a lot.”
The Daily, UW's student newspaper, featured a front-page article about the UW FSAE team and the unveiling. "....this project undertaken by the UW Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) doesn’t involve fixing a broken appliance or painting a room. The group’s project involves flying around a racetrack at more than 100 mph, competing against racing teams from all over the world and engineering a vehicle that can corner faster than Lamborghinis, Ferraris and Porsches."
