Formula Student
Formula Student is an engineering design competition reserved for the
student community and offered internationally by the Society of
Automotive Engineers (hence the acronym SAE).
The initiative, which began in 1981, involves the design and
production of a racing vehicle. It's an experience that gives the
opportunity to move from theory to practice, to use what has been
learned about automotive during classes to build the
best-performing car with team enthusiasm and creativity.
During this competions the teams are evaluated on a series of tests for
design quality and engineering efficiency.
Formula Student is an international competition among teams of college
students. This project consists of the production of a single-seater,
following all steps in the supply chain (design, modeling, testing and
use). The vehicle must meet strict regulations, regarding technical
requirements, which influence the choices made during the design. We
rely on the official regulations of FSG.
Every year Formula Student events are held in different parts of the
world where a committee evaluates the development and environmental
impact of the design. Then, the vehicle's efficiency and power are
tested in a series of dynamic track tests.
