Five teams of UPC students have entered their vehicles in Formula Student 2018 this summer
The arrival of summer marks the start of the international university competition Formula Student, in which the UPC student teams Dynamics UPC, e-Tech Racing, ETSEIB Motorsport, UPC ecoRacing and Vilanova Formula Team are participating. The five UPC teams will compete in various European circuits within the competition and will meet from 22 to 26 August in Formula Student Spain at the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit in Montmeló.
Formula Student was started in the 1980s in the United States with the aim of promoting innovation and R&D, and it has now become one of the major international motor events involving universities. Every year, students from all over the world, in more than 400 teams, compete in one of the many trials that are held within this competition in Europe, the United States, Japan and Australia.
The international teams must calculate, design and manufacture a single car during a process that ends with competitions on professional circuits. These competitions include static tests, in which the students defend the design of the vehicle before an experienced jury, and dynamic tests, which evaluate the performance of the car in motion and on the track.
