DR ALICE BUNN OBE FIMECHE
CEO, INSTITUTION OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS
Welcome to Formula Student 2024
As CEO of the IMechE I am delighted to welcome all new and returning students, volunteers and spectators to Silverstone for Formula Student 2024.
Whether developing a combustion, electric, hybrid or autonomous vehicle, Formula Student is a key part of the Institution’s strategic vision to support the next generation of engineers, providing opportunities for them to develop new skills. It is great to see the thousands of students that enjoy and value the learning opportunities of the competition, with a diverse and international roster of teams showing off their hard work this year.
Following our 25th anniversary last year that saw the University of Modena secure their second title, this year’s competition looks to continue the excitement and passion that we all look forward to - hopefully without the unusual and challenging weather conditions (I hope all teams packed their wet-weather tires!).
2024 marks another key milestone with the announcement of CCAV’s financial support to further support and develop this growing FS-AI autonomous vehicles competition. This is testament to the hard work of all those involved to provide further opportunities and I am pleased that CCAV recognise the importance of FS-AI to develop the skills and experience of young engineers that meet the current and future needs of industry.
Similarly, my thanks go to Coryton and Motorsport UK for their provision of innovative biofuels for all vehicles running combustion engines; it’s great to see that the competition continues to reflect trends in industry to achieve greater sustainability.
A quick reminder to all students; whether you are in the middle of your degree or will be graduating this year, be sure to chat with all the judges and sponsors who are taking part. Formula Student continues to be a great place to network with and get advice from engineers in industry and who knows, you may meet someone this week who you later go on to work with as you start your careers!
I would like to thank all our dedicated volunteers who help run Formula Student and without whose generous support and commitment, the competition could not take place.
For all the young people who are watching all the action unfold in the garages and stands: this is just one of the exciting opportunities that a career in engineering can offer!
Best of luck as always to all the teams taking part, I’ll be cheering you on from the sidelines.
Dr Alice Bunn OBE CEO, Institution of Mechanical Engineers
DR ANDREW DEAKIN FIMECHE
CHAIR, FORMULA STUDENT ORGANISING COMMITTEE
Welcome to Formula Student 2024
Another summer brings us all together for the 26th annual Formula Student competition; a warm welcome to you all to Silverstone!
After seeing our first hybrid vehicle from Modena on Copse Corner and Oxford Brookes’ EV securing third place last year, it’s great to see the growing number of EV teams enjoy success.
I’m delighted that all IC teams will be running Coryton’s SUSTAIN biofuels this year. This is a key area where we can contribute to greater sustainability in line with all motorsport series in the UK and I thank Coryton and Motorsport UK for their contributions.
One of the other big changes is for our FS-AI competition, where we are improving access to the ADS-DVs. More teams will have the opportunity to develop and test their code and is thanks to the renewed financial support from CCAV and their acknowledgement of the importance of FS-AI in preparing engineers for careers in the UK’s Connected Autonomous Mobility industry.
Providing more ADS-DVs is just one of many plans to support FS-AI teams in the UK and internationally, so whether your team is joining for the first time or are veterans; the future of the competition looks bright.
Elsewhere, my thanks go to Dan, Monty, Dane and the team for their work organising monthly sim races and to Williams E-Sports for their support
and hosting our finals earlier this week. Going beyond mere racing, the heats and engineering challenges push students to develop their virtual vehicle dynamics setup and optimisation, an important area for motorsport teams of all stripes.
On behalf of the Organising Committee and the IMechE, we are grateful for the continued support of our event partners
Ansys, MathWorks, Jaguar Land Rover, and Tata Elxsi, FS-AI Partner Babcock International, Category Sponsors Avonside Safety Management, Bentley Motors, Faraday Institution, Onshape, and RS Grass Roots, and sponsors AWE Aldermaston, DEWESoft, Energy Systems Catapult, Embed Littlefuse, IPG Automotive, Matrix Technology Solutions, McLaren Applied and Mercedes AMG HPP.
I would also like to thank all our new and longstanding committee members and volunteers for their time and expertise with the judging, safety, hot works, dynamic events and all other activities at this, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers’ biggest and best event of the year.
Finally, on behalf of all the judges and organising committee, we wish all students the best of luck over the coming days; we hope you enjoy the chance to show off your hard work, gain experience of a realworld project and make fun, long-lasting memories and friendships – hopefully with some trophies to show for it.
We’ll see you and your cars out on track!

What is Formula Student?
Formula Student is Europe’s most established educational engineering competition which uses motorsport to inspire students. Backed by industry and high-profile engineers, the competition aims to develop enterprising and innovative young engineers and encourage more young people to take up a career in engineering.
Growing each year, Formula Student –Artificial Intelligence (FS-AI) challenges student teams to develop an AI driver capable of controlling a vehicle through a series of real-world challenges. The competition is designed to evolve to keep pace with the skills requirements of the UK Autonomous vehicles and Artificial Intelligence sectors.
Scoring Breakdown
Points in brackets are maximum scores.
Formula Student Class
Static Events:
- Lap Time Simulation (20)
- Technical and Safety Scrutineering
- Tilt test, brakes and noise testing
The competition is split into two parts: static events, which test the team’s business logic, design and costing skills, and dynamic events, which test the performance and durability of their vehicle.
All students get a chance to demonstrate their technical, engineering design and manufacturing skills while meeting deadlines. Gaining experience in teamwork, time and project management, budgeting and more, students come out of the competition with valuable and practical skills that set them up for a bright career in engineering.
THE CHALLENGE
The competition is split into two parts: static events, which test the team’s business logic, design and costing skills, and dynamic events, which test the performance and durability of their vehicle.
The teams are tasked to produce a prototype for a single-seat race car for autocross or sprint racing and present it to a hypothetical manufacturing firm. The car must be high performance in terms of its acceleration, braking and handling qualities whilst being low in cost, easy to maintain and reliable. During the competition the teams must demonstrate the logic behind the proposal and must be able to demonstrate that it can support a viable business model with rigorous testing.
Developed with IPG Automotive, the now mandatory Lap Time Simulation event will also see students develop skills in developing vehicles using virtual testing techniques, further adding to their skills.
Teams compete across several event categories, including the requirement for the students to consider Real World Autonomous scenarios
Students have the option to design and run their own autonomous vehicle while developing their AI code. Alternatively, they may use the competition’s purpose-built Autonomous Driving Systems Driverless Vehicle (ADS-DV), which has been developed by the IMechE with funding from the Centre for Connected & Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV) via Innovate UK.
Another new activity is the FS Sim Racing series. Supported by Williams E-Sports, the series attracts dozens of teams around to compete in competitive and fun races each month, with the finals hosted at Williams’ Grove headquarters. Through racing events and regular engineering challenges, students learn to optimise their dynamic vehicle setup and adapt their race strategies to varying conditions and scenarios, readying them for similar racecritical roles in motorsport.

Motorsport UK recognises that motorsport needs to have a broad view of the future propulsion solutions and incorporate sustainable technology, including fuels, within their genesis. Formula Student is a key opportunity for young, talented engineers to get their first experience of competitive motorsport and many go on to have professional careers in the sport, or associated industries. From the very start of their careers, we want them to consider how emerging technology can be included in designs, without compromising overall performance.
Ian Smith, Technical Director, Ian Smith
Sustainable fuels have a huge role to play in the future of motorsport and we’re already seeing that in many series across the world. That’s why it is fantastic to have this opportunity to show the next generation of engineers what sustainable biofuel can do, and to allow them to experience it in action. The fact that last year’s winners used SUSTAIN Racing fuel just proves there is no drop in performance - but there is huge potential for the future of a cleaner motorsport industry.
David Richardson, Director, Coryton
We are delighted to be able to offer all teams these fuels for the coming competition. At a time when engineers across different industries are making strides toward Net Zero targets, this allows us to contribute toward the goal of reduced carbon emissions and that sustainable fuels and motorsport can go hand in hand.
Naomi Rolfe, Project Manager, Formula Student
Formula Student to use all sustainable fuels in 2024
The Institution is delighted to extend its partnership with Motorsport UK as key sustainability partner, and Coryton Fuels to provide sustainable fuels to all competitors in 2024. Motorsport UK, the governing body for motorsport in the UK, has provided a grant for entrants to use Coryton sustainable fuels in ICE powertrains within the Formula Student competition.
This initiative is a part of continued efforts to improve the event’s sustainability and reduce its carbon footprint. By inspiring young engineers involved, Motorsport UK is taking a leading role in the promotion of sustainable fuels, in line with its objectives to embrace sustainable practices wherever possible.
The SUSTAIN Racing E85 and 95 RON E10 fuels offer an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions for combustion vehicles when compared to fossil fuel-based equivalents. Both are second-generation advanced biofuels, created from agricultural waste, and have been designed to be a drop-in solution, meaning that student teams do not need to modify their existing engines.
This follows 2023’s successful debut of the fuels as an optional choice, with winners MoRe Modena Racing from the University of Modena, Italy, who ran their Custom Suzuki GSX-R engine on E85.
While more teams than ever are pivoting to develop electric cars for the competition, the complexity and costs involved mean that students are not always able to make the switch. The provision of sustainable fuel options ensures that internal combustion engines remain a viable choice for teams in the future, so that students can continue to benefit from the learning opportunities offered by the competition while meeting requirements for sustainability.
The Institution of Mechanical Engineers is grateful for the continued support and assistance from both Motorsport UK and Coryton Fuels and look forward to welcoming all teams to the competition in July at Silverstone.

CARDIFF RACING
Cardiff Racing are entering FSUK this year with CR20 and a point to prove. Consistently one of the top performing UK teams, Cardiff Racing are looking to build on the competitive entries of the last 3 years to win this year’s competition. CR20 sports significant alterations from its predecessor, while retaining tried and tested features. A new front suspension package and adjustable aerodynamics allows the setup of CR20 to be optimised for each dynamic event, while a change in chassis design
improves torsional stiffness and reducing mounting point compliance, and our Triumph 675 Street Triple now has a newly integrated drive-by-wire throttle system. We have been putting in the hard work over the winter and are excited to see how this pays off when CR20 hits the track at Silverstone.

FORMULA TRINITY
Formula Trinity Autonomous will have an overarching goal to successfully complete all events this year at the Formula Student Competition. Going from an ambitious rookie team in 2022, they came to Silverstone last year with a highly impactful design. However, due to a lack of testing, which is a challenge faced by many international DDT teams, they were unable to achieve their desired result. Nevertheless, this year the team remains determined to make an impact in both the static and dynamic events, thanks to significant progress made on their in-home testing rig. The team has focused
extensively on improving the quality of their perception solution, resulting in a sensor fusion design with a LiDAR and a stereo camera. Having learned valuable lessons from last year regarding their path planning solution, they have developed a more robust and predictive model this year.
Formula Trinity’s SLAM and Pure Pursuit models continue to be a source of pride for the team, and they are eagerly looking forward to presenting a competitive solution this year.
