Our history and what we compete for
OUR TEAM
We are a diverse team of motivated students associated with Delft University of Technology, competing in Formula Student since 1999. Representing 22 countries and various faculties, we share a passion for motorsport and innovation.
Each year, we design, build, and race high-performance cars, working together to create the perfect machine for international Formula Student competitions. We welcome new talent to join us on this exciting journey.
The competition
Formula Student is among the world’s most prestigious and well established academic motorsport competitions, whose goal it is to produce highly skilled undergraduates with hands on expertise in engineering, organisational, and managerial roles through participation in an innovative year-long project. The event began as Formula SAE in the United States in 1980, and has since grown to involve over four hundred universities, with official events being held in 10 countries around the globe, and many more competitive gatherings at other locations throughout the season.
Formula SAE encompasses all aspects of car manufacturing, including research, construction, testing, developing, marketing, management, and fund raising. Student teams from all over the world design, build, and race a small-scale formula-style racing car. This presents the engineers with the chance to put theory into practice in a dynamic and competitive environment.
Formula Student consistently and systematically produces experienced, knowledgable, capable engineers who are ready to turn their skills and passion towards the engineering challenges of the future.
The events
A single Formula Student competition takes place over several days at some of the most famous and renowned racing tracks around the world, including Silverstone in the UK, the Hockenheimring in Germany, and the Red Bull Ring in Austria.
The competition is divided into 2 categories: static events, which include the business presentation, costs analysis, and design evaluation and the dynamic events, which encompass the endurance race, the efficiency measurements, the autocross event, the acceleration test, and the skid pad. In total, a team can be awarded 1000 points if they place first in every individual event.
