Formula Student is the largest engineering competition for students in the world with the aim of creating better engineers by giving the students hands-on experience. Every competing team designs, manufactures and tests a vehicle with which they then compete against other teams in several different events - all of this takes place during less than one year. There are both dynamic events such as endurance and acceleration, and static events where the cost of manufacturing and the business idea of the project are presented to the judges. Overall, the car and the competitions are the means used to develop our engineering skills.
At Chalmers Formula Student we strive to deliver the engineers of tomorrow. Today, we are one of the top Formula Student teams, a position we have reached through our hard and consistent work. The team consists of approximately 40 new, dedicated students each year, and we also have former team members supporting the project. We start each project with a pre-study phase where we generate the concept of the car from which we then develop our design. When the design is finished, we start manufacturing the car until we finally test it before heading to the competition.
