Reliability
A car that does not finish the endurance event scores nothing. Certainty that a part survives the full competition comes before any performance gain.

Racing
An electric formula car designed, built and validated by students at Tecnológico de Monterrey. Third place in Design Overall at Formula SAE Mexico 2026. Manufacturing begins January 2027, with Formula SAE Michigan as the target.

The front of the car exists to do one thing: load the tyres before the car reaches the corner.

Result
Third place in Design Overall
The car was not built yet. The rules let TEC Racing enter Formula SAE Mexico with the design of its first electric single-seater as a concept vehicle — but it was judged in the same category as the finished cars, with the design score computed on 50% of the possible points. Third place in Design Overall came out of that half.
Judges and practising engineers went through every system and through the way the team works. That feedback is what the corrections running now are built on. Manufacturing begins on 1 January 2027, and the car it produces is the one that goes to Formula SAE Michigan.

Design criteria
How we decide when priorities collide
Twelve areas designing a single car disagree every day. These four criteria, in this order, resolve the conflict without a vote.
02
Manufacturability
We design what this team can build with the machines and the hours it actually has. A brilliant part that cannot be made is worth zero.
03
Cost
Every gram and every peso is justified against the points it returns. The Cost Report is not paperwork: it is a design constraint from day one.
04
Simplicity
Between two equivalent solutions, the one with fewer parts wins. What does not exist cannot fail, adds no mass and needs no defending before the judges.
Every subsystem opens with a table of applicable rules that turns the FSAE EV rulebook into pass-or-fail functional requirements before design begins. Structural members are sized to the regulatory minimum for their function: mass is added only where the analysis calls for it.
