History
Built through seasons of iteration.
Aztec Baja Racing began as an SDSU senior design project and grew into a student team that designs, fabricates, tests, and races a new off-road vehicle for Baja SAE.
Milestones
From first build to modern race program
The beginning
The first car started as a senior design project and was built off campus with support from McMillin Racing.
Foundation years
New members grew the project into a campus club, moved operations into the school machine shop, and developed custom components including a transaxle and steering rack.
Competition success
The team raced all three events in 2017, won endurance in Peoria, reached top-10 form, then climbed to a best overall finish of third place in 2019.
Current generation
Recent seasons keep pushing the car through static events, dynamic events, endurance, and the hard lessons that make the next design better.
Recent results
Competition keeps the work honest.
