The Sooner Racing Team was first formed in 1994. A small group of engineering students at the University of Oklahoma were recruited by Professor Bill Patten to compete in the Formula SAE competition. Funded by the College of Engineering, these students formed OU’s first FSAE team. Since then, the team has competed in FSAE events almost every year. Sooner Racing has grown in knowledge and performance since its inception, and is regarded by many as the flagship program of OU’s College of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering. The Sooner Racing Team continues operation under the supervision of advisor Dr. Chris Dalton.

The team hopes to continue its recent trend of success, promote its program and sponsors, and represent the University of Oklahoma in the largest collegiate engineering competition in the world.
