Welcome To The Orlando Car Enthusiast Association (OCEA) Home Page

Established in 1995 -- Rockin' in 2001


Welcome to the Official Web Site of the premiere automotive student organization dedicated to Students, Faculty and Alumni of the University of Central Florida!


A Brief Introduction


Our Orlando Car Enthusiast Association (OCEA) is a student organization located at the University Of Central Florida. Our organization is dedicated to many different tasks: To promote research and development of automobiles for engineers, helping graduating students deciding on new vehicles, and assisting owners of classic cars with restorations...... to name just a few!

Our organization has developed many local events, authored several newspaper articles for local papers (such as the Central Florida Future and Knight Times), and have helped students pursue their interest as car/truck enthusiasts. We continue to participate in a diverse set of venues looking from exploring alternative fuel vehicles to maximizing performance from the existing internal combustion engine.

So if you love cars or trucks and attend UCF, then look no further... The UCF Knight Riders is the student organization for you. Founded nearly seven years ago, we have grown into a well-known group on campus. The UCF Knight Riders is a large organization that has several specialized divisions:

The first division to be founded was the Autos Section. This is the division responsible for publishing newspaper articles for our organization. Since the club's founding, we have actively worked with local newspapers to publish test drives, reviews and tech articles for the students of UCF.

Another one of our older divisions, Ford Performance Car, is dedicated to enthusiasts of Classic or Contemporary Ford Cars and Trucks. This club has sponsored several events such as The Beast @ UCF and the Orlando SpeedWorld Stoplight Shootout. A large amount of its members recently graduated, so we need new members!

For sports car or compact car enthusiasts, The Sports Car @ UCF club is ideal. This division assists its members improving the performance and handling of their vehicles. The club also participates in local SCCA and ACR events.

Another division is the Knight Rider Fan Club. This is an officially recognized fan club developed for fans of the 1980's action television series Knight Rider. This club is the ideal source for news, collectibles and events for the Sci-Fi or Pontiac enthusiast.

We are most proud of our newest division, The GM Power Club. This new club is being developed for fans and owners of high performance General Motors vehicles. We are currently looking for members and a president/vice president. This club was officially launched last year (New Election for President/Vice President will also take place this Spring).
