Engineering Since '07
Founded in 2007, UNLV Rebel Racing has been designing, manufacturing, innovating, and competing for almost twenty years. Our team is a student-run, non-profit organization located right on campus at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). Our team designs and manufactures a single-seat, off-road vehicle to compete in the Baja SAE Collegiate Design Series. What sets Rebel Racing apart is its diverse and collaborative membership. Students from Engineering, Business, Computer Science, and many other disciplines work side by side, combining their skills to achieve a common goal. From freshmen to seniors, every member gains valuable hands-on experience in design, manufacturing, teamwork, and leadership.
What We Do
The University of Nevada, Las Vegas Baja SAE chapter is a completely student-operated club and non-profit organization located right on UNLV’s campus. Members of the club are fully responsible for designing and fabricating our Baja race car as well as obtaining sponsorships, fundraising, marketing, and managing social media accounts. The team aims to attend the three annual Baja SAE competitions where we compete against over 100 teams from universities around the globe. In recent years we have placed in the top twenty to top ten of teams in a variety of categories, and we aim to reach new heights as well as innovate even further as a team every year.
Team Spirit
Rebel Racing reflects the UNLV spirit, bringing together students from different backgrounds and fields of study to achieve a common goal. This mix of perspectives strengthens teamwork and drives innovation throughout the organization. Equally important is our commitment to hands-on technical development. We pride ourselves on producing components in-house, giving members continual experience with machining and advancing skills in additive manufacturing. By uniting design with fabrication, students gain practical knowledge that prepares them for careers in modern engineering, industry, and business. Each year, new members are welcomed into this process, ensuring knowledge is passed on and the team continues to grow stronger.
