Every year the SAE hosts three international competitions in the United States and a few more around the world. Baja Teams from around the world will make the journey to these events occurring in the spring and early summer. There are roughly 100 teams from around the world that participate in each competition. The vehicles are put to the ultimate test at these competitions, which consist of dynamic and static events, where the scores from all are combined and totaled to find the overall winner. The static events include design reports, cost reports, and sales presentations of the vehicle. The dynamic events consist of four of the following depending on who is hosting the competition: suspension and traction course, maneuverability course, acceleration, hill climb, rock crawl, and sled pull. These events are timed and the teams are compared based on the times. The last event is four hour endurance race which happens on the last day; in which all the teams race against each other to get the most laps possible.
