About Redback Racing
Redback Racing is a student project from the University of New South Wales, Sydney. We strive to provide students with the experience to apply their knowledge to the real world in the Formula SAE-A Competition. At Redback Racing, we champion team spirit, encourage collaborative relationships, and promote a culture of inclusiveness to learn and grow together. We take pride in the team’s commitment as they take on the challenge of bringing their work to life.
Our Core Values

The nature of our project often requires members to work under high-pressure, time-sensitive scenarios, ultimately accelerating the development of critical problem-solving abilities under real-world constraints.
Passion
Our members dedicate countless hours to develop this project. We encourage our team to take ownership of their goals and achievements in developing this project while maintaining a healthy work-lifestyle balance.
Formula SAE-A Competition
Since 2000, UNSW Redback Racing has competed in Formula SAE, the world’s largest student engineering design competition. Each year, the team competes against student from universities across the Australasia region. We entered the Electric-Vehicle (EV) Class in 2019 and now compete solely in the EV Class.
Formula SAE (FSAE) organised by the Society of Automotive Engineers is the largest internationally held engineering competition in the world. It provides students with the opportunity to enhance their engineering design and project management skills to prepare them for a career in STEM and Commerce industries of the future.
The competition is composed of both static and dynamic race events that see teams come to compete from Oceania, Asia, Europe and the Americas.
