The Formula South Invitational began six years ago, previously known as the Robert Glenn Allen Invitational. The event was created in remembrance of Southern Poly Professor, Robert Glenn Allen. The event has grown year over year welcoming Formula SAE teams from all over the Southeast to compete in a friendly representation of FSAE dynamic events. The teams compete in four events: Autocross, Acceleration, Skidpad, and Endurance. We have welcomed incredible event sponsors throughout the year, some have included: Yamaha, Porsche Experience Center, Exomotive, Henssler Group, and Delta TechOps.
All proceeds generated from the event are donated to the KSU Robert Glenn Allen Scholarship Foundation that assists Southern Poly College students who are active in a organization or competition team and hold a 3.0 GPA or higher.
Formula SAE
Formula SAE is a collegiate engineering design competition team that is challenged to design, manufacture, build and race an open-wheeled, formula style race car from the ground up every year. Students in these organizations are highly-sought after in industry due to the extensive hands-on application this program demands.
