Welcome!

Dartmouth Formula Racing (DFR) is a student-run organization at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College.   Founded in 1995, our team has designed and produced award winning formula racecars that have competed nationally at events held by the Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (FSAE).  In the process, we have produced exceptional leaders and engineers who exemplify excellence in engineering at the Thayer School.

This year DFR enters new territory.  For the past 3 years, DFR has competed with both a E-85 ethanol powered car and a hybrid gas-electric car each year . This year DFR is consolidating its efforts and building a hybrid racecar exclusively.  With the greater need for alternative energy development, the team looks to be a pioneer in promoting more efficient hybrid technology in automotive racing.  In doing so, it will pave the way for innovation in a field that grows more important every day.

Now in our fourteenth year of competition, Dartmouth Formula Racing is continuing to push the envelope of hybrid performance and continue a long DFR tradition of hybrid success.
