UW-Platteville Baja team is an aspiring group of engineers shaping the future of small engine racing

UW-Platteville’s Baja SAE has established a well structured team which provides many opportunities for its members to design and build an off-road vehicle for use in the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) international collegiate design competitions. Members learn hands-on skills as well as effective team working strategies that will be essential to succeed in industry upon graduation. Members

engage in practical engineering, learn complex manufacturing techniques, and feel the pressure of working under deadlines and strict budgets. Best of all, members receive great satisfaction with driving their designs from sketches to an aggressive, off road vehicle.

Day 4 of Comp and we made it on the track! Unfortunately we had to cut our fun short due to a failure in our gearbox input shaft. Thanks to all of our sponsors and supporters for helping us reach this point! Stay tuned for final results.

Huge thank you to for cutting our spur gears by Wire EDM.
This process gives us the ultra‑tight tolerances and precision needed for a component as critical as the gearbox. Couldn’t push PBR 26 forward without partners like you.

🎉 PBR 26 is rolling! 🎉
Huge milestone for the team this weekend — the car is officially on all four and things are coming together fast. Stay tuned… the next milestone is driving, and it’s closer than you think.

Huge thank you to Tri-State Industries in Dubuque for laser cutting Pioneer Baja Racing 2026's tabs and brake rotors! These tabs are essential to bolt up every component cleanly to the chassis. Having them cut precisely makes all the difference in the build. We greatly appreciate the support and the craftsmanship.

Thank you for steering us to success by sending us U-Joints for the steering shaft in this year's car! This allows us to have bends in our steering shaft, allowing for better packaging and a more comfortable driver position.

Big thank you to EH Baare Corporation for supplying our team with this year's chassis fixture!
It helps make welding the chassis both easier and faster by ensuring that the tubes are held in the right spot, eliminating any guesswork for such an important component of the car.
