there's also formula sae where you build a formula 1 type car with a budget of $7k, I don't have any links to it, but I've heard about it.

I did the project as a class in high school. The tech teachers contacted the smart kids outside of class and we actually got 2 credits in highschool as an independant study course. It was badass. Now im going to UW-Platteville and will be doing the Formula stuff with SAE.
