This site was originally created for the benefit of members of UWA Motorsport Formula SAE team. This is not the official site for that team. You can visit that site by clicking here. I have since been made aware that students from other teams have also been using this website. I hope you find it useful and I will endeavor to keep it updated with useful links. The links on this page are by no means a comprehensive guide for Formula SAE pages on the web. However, it may serve as a "quick-reference" guide for new teams. If you have any suggestions or constructive criticism please email me. If you have any problems with a particular website being linked to this page you can email me as well.
