Τhe Team Centaurus Racing Team was established in 2009 by undergraduate students of the Mechanical Engineering Department of the University of Thessaly. The team's main goal is research, design and construction of a formula type vehicle, which will be able to take part in the biggest competition for engineering students, Formula Student.

The Competition Formula Student is one of the biggest and most ingrained competitions globally. It has an educational character and its main objective is, the construction of racing cars under a strict frame of rules. The main priority of these rules is on the one hand to ensure the students' safety and on the other to impose obstacles on them that they have to overcome through their research and design that must be finished, during a year's time.

General Goals & Car Evolution Verification of the research through experiments:
Verification of the theoretical knowledge through experiments, which are conducted on pre-constructed parts of the car.
Design based on realistic data:
In combination with the above, data will be drawn during the testing period, through a sensors network, placed on Thireus R, which will be used during the design process.
Assurance for an extended testing time, during the 2018-2019 season:
The testing period of the new car will be more than 3 months, so as to ensure the right testing and evaluation of the parts, the drivers' training on FSAE-type tracks and the right set up of the car. In that way both car and driver will be able to reach 100% of their potential, during the Class 1 competitions.
Car weight range: 220-225 kg Center of gravity distance range (from the road): 26.5-27 cm Optimization of the static events management.
Handling and Scheduling of Payments: Minimization of the time, needed for the completion of the team's transactions, bearing in mind the needed procedures. Eradication of any possible delay. Turnover minimization.
5
SUSPENSION Analysis of last year's car through sensors and confirmation of theoretical calculations. More aggressive suspension, more effort in order to exploit the maximum performance of the tyres. Simulations in dynamic analysis programmes. The new single-seater car will be based on sensors' data, minimizing in that way the "error", in comparison to reality, giving the opportunity for a better design. Use of composite materials (wishbones, steering column)
CHASSIS
Expansion of the number of parts which will be made from composite materials. Space frame design with the appropriate weight to stiffness ratio. Better packaging.
ELECTRONICS
Wiring harness's weight minimization. Extension of sensors and telemetry network. Data logging software. Throttle by wire.
ENGINE Use of composite materials in air-intake, fuel tank and parts of the transmission. Titanium exhaust and muffler made of composite materials. Research and design of new camshaft. Research and design of new gearbox. 6

The team has set pretty high goals for this year, as it does every year. The reassurance of its participation in competitions was granted, since we were accepted in 4 competitions, after taking several tests. In the end, after a year’s hard work, the team decided to attend the demanding competition of Czech Republic.
17
Τhe FS Czech Republic competition took place from 1 to 5 August 2017, in Most. Centaurus Racing Team raced with the car: "Thireus R", having already passed successfully all the preliminary technical inspections, demanded from the FSAE's rules. The team showed the same amount of potential in the static events, which consist of the cost and the design presentation, where the team took the 25th and 21st place, among 36 universities, respectively. During the business plan presentation the judges played the role of the investors and so the goal was to persuade them to invest on the ideas that the teams presented. On this particular event the team received 11th place, with the judges not being able to hide their excitement for our innovative idea.
Concerning the dynamic events our car (Thireus R) participated successfully in the skidpad and acceleration events, thanks to our experienced drivers' effort. Unfortunately during the autocross event, our second driver wasn't able to reach the finishing line, because of a technical problem. Despite that unfortunate incident the team didn't quit and immediately investigated and solved the problem. So the team was ready to participate in the most demanding event of the competition, the Endurance. It is necessary to mention that during this event only few teams are able to finish successfully, since the distance that the car needs to cover is great. In the general classification of this competition the team took the 13th place and in the fuel efficiency the 9th. Centaurus team members came back a few days later full of new experiences and excitement for next year's racing season.
