About the Formula Student Competition

The competition includes the following components:

• Racing car design and manufacturing: Teams are responsible for the complete vehicle development process, including design, procurement, assembly, testing, and debugging.

• Static events: These cover design presentations, cost analysis, and business planning to evaluate the team's engineering logic, budget control, and collaboration.

• Dynamic events: Events such as acceleration, figure-8 maneuvering, and high-speed obstacle avoidance test both vehicle performance and driver control.

The competition features multiple categories of vehicles, including fuel-powered, electric, autonomous (driverless), and Baja-style off-road vehicles.
