What is Mercer Motorsports

Mercer Motorsports began in 2020 with the goal of making a monumental improvement on the access to hands-on experience students have at Mercer University by participating in competitions like Formula Society of Automotive Engineering (FSAE). 


  • Over 40 members have made team contributions
  • Support by Mercer executives, companies, and donors 
  • Sponsored by over $40,000 in resources for the team
  • Significant progress towards fabricating a student-designed car in the near future.
