The Competition

Formula Student

Formula Student United Kingdom

Formula Student (FS) is Europe’s most established educational engineering competition. The project usually forms part of a degree-level project and is viewed by the motorsport industry as the standard for engineering graduates to meet, transitioning them from university to the workplace. It is a kite-mark for real-world engineering experience, combining practical engineering experience with soft skills including business planning and project management.

Formula Student China

FSC was organized since 2010 and Formula Student Electric China (FSEC) was separated out in 2015 in view of the trend of new energy. The concept behind FSEC is that a fictional manufacturing company has contracted a design team to develop a small Formula-style electric race car which means that students need to build their own race car for competition and the prototype race car is to be evaluated for its potential as a production item. The vehicle will be inspected in a series of tests to ensure it complies with the competition rules; in addition, the vehicle with driver will be judged in a number of performance tests on track. The rest of the judging is completed by experts from motorsports, automotive, aerospace and supplier industries on student design, cost and sales presentations.
