Our Crowdfunding Groups
Jayhawk Motorsports (JMS) is an organization that competes in FSAE which is a collegiate design competition where students design, build, test, and race formula-style race cars. Each year JMS builds a vehicle with a traditional combustion powertrain. This year we are designing a brand new combustion vehicle & completing our 2022 Electric vehicle! Every contribution made to our organization last year was greatly appreciated and helped us produce our car. We are proud to have this opportunity to fundraise through Launch KU for the 2023 cars.
JMS has a very successful history in the Formula SAE competition. In the last decade, Jayhawk Motorsports has achieved 8 top 5 finishes including two overall 1 st place finishes in the 2012 and 2014 Lincoln competitions. These events include over a hundred teams from all over the world. This year, Jayhawk Motorsports has hopes of another top finish in 2022, with our goal of having a heavy focus on designing a completely new electric powertrain system that has not been attempted by our team before. This year’s team is particularly motivated to meet their financial goals as well, hoping to fundraise their way toward being able to buy the components needed to make this new powertrain system.
Every donation is critical in allowing students to develop technological advances in the FSAE sphere and gives them a hands-on opportunity to apply the skills they learn in class. Jayhawk Motorsports is a unique organization as it includes students from all engineering majors as well as students from across the university. This year we have approximately 30 mechanical engineering seniors and 2 engineering physics seniors working to design and build our car. We are also thankful for the 40 undergraduate students working on our team from mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, computer science, chemical engineering, accounting, finance, and marketing. Thank you for considering supporting our cause and helping students flourish in an active learning environment.
Every contribution goes a long way. No matter how small the gift, all donations pave the way to the achievement of our goal.
The hardworking Jayhawk supporters who cheer us on and contribute to our team, provide us with the opportunity to build a racecar we can be proud of.
Jayhawk Motorsports consistently performs as superior competition. With this legacy, our members dedicate themselves to the project and understand every contribution makes an impact.
