WHAT IS FORMULA STUDENT? FORMULA STUDENT IS AN INTERNATIONAL COLLEGIATE ENGINEERING DESIGN COMPETITION FOUNDED BY THE SOCIETY OF AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERS (SAE) IN 1981. IT IS BASED AROUND THE CONCEPT OF A FICTIONAL MANUFACTURING COMPANY LOOKING TO DESIGN AND DEVELOP A FORMULA-STYLE RACING CAR TARGETED AT THE ‘WEEKEND RACER’. FORMULA STUDENT COMPETITIONS FEATURE A SERIES OF STATIC AND DYNAMIC EVENTS DESIGNED TO CHALLEGE ALL ASPECTS OF THE STUDENT-BUILT RACE CARS.
FORMULA STUDENT IS A COMPETITION WHICH PROMOTES INNOVATION AND EXCELLENCE IN ENGINEERING, AND PLAYS HOST TO THE MOST TALENTED AND CAPABLE YOUNG ENGINEERS IN THE WORLD.
FORMULA STUDENT IS A WORLDWIDE PHENOMENON, WITH TEN OFFICIAL COMPETITIONS TAKING PLACE IN EIGHT COUNTRIES. COLLECTIVELY THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 500 ACTIVE COMBUSTION AND ELECTRIC FORMULA STUDENT TEAMS.
