Formula SAE/Formula Student World Rankings
Each year Formula Student compiles a World Ranking for Formula SAE teams based on the teams improvement from the previous year, their performance in the competition(s) they attended that year, and the level of competition faced at the competition(s). We attended FSAE Michigan in 2017 and placed in the 80's out of 120 teams. Then Formula Kentucky attended Formula SAE Lincoln in 2018 and placed well enough to earn ourselves a 296 world ranking out of 614 teams considered. After our successes at FSAE Michigan in 2019, however, we jumped in the World Rankings to our best ranking in team history. With a world ranking score of 272.5183 averaged over the last three years of competition where we scored 217.8, 283.4, and 301.6 respectively Formula Kentucky is officially the 292nd ranked team in the world of the 614 teams. This scoring is good enough to move us to a ranking of 92nd of 151 United States based teams in the competition. We are a younger team than a lot of the competitoon in the US, so a 92/151 ranking is admirable, but we are striving to increase our ranking in the competition seasons to come.
