Become a Sponsor
“Because of the Michigan Solar Car Team, Ford will be a better competitor in the marketplace, because we’re learning a lot, we’re interacting with a great set of individuals and it will help us make ourselves more competitive and more successful down the road.”
- Mark Fields, Former President and CEO, Ford Motor Company
As an official sponsor of the University of Michigan Solar Car Team, you and your company become a part of a 33-year legacy. We have over a quarter century of hands-on learning, designing, manufacturing, and racing experience, and are recognized as one of the most successful solar racing teams in the world.
With the support of our corporate partners, we are able to use cutting-edge composites, battery, and solar cell technologies to construct a more sophisticated vehicle each year. Joining our team means becoming part of that effort to push the bounds of alternative vehicle technology.
From becoming a part of our journey through the Australian Outback to marketing and recruiting opportunities, we provide our sponsors with a truly unique experience. We pride ourselves on building strong relationships that fit the needs of each sponsor, from family-run machine shops to multinational corporations.
Sponsors receive benefits based on their level of contribution, and all sponsors become a part of our team for the full 2-year race cycle.
