WHAT IS FORMULA STUDENT?

• International motor sport competition for
  students.
• Organised by IMechE
• To develop young engineers, preparing them for
  life in industry.

The Formula Student Challenge

• For the purpose of the competition, students are
  to assume that a manufacturing firm has engaged
  them to produce a prototype car for evaluation.
  The intended sales market is the non professional
  weekend autocross or sprint racer. Therefore, the
  car must have very high performance in terms of
  its acceleration, braking, and handling
  qualities. The car must be low in cost, easy to
  maintain, and reliable. In addition, the car's
  marketability is enhanced by other factors such
  as aesthetics, comfort and use of common parts.
  The manufacturing firm is planning to produce
  1000 cars per year at a cost below 25,000 (c.
  16,000, 21,000) . The challenge to the team is
  to design and fabricate a prototype car that best
  meets these objectives. Each design is compared
  and judged with other competing designs to
  determine the best overall car.

The Competition

• Static Events
• Design The concept of the design event is to
  evaluate the engineering effort that went into
  the design of the car and how the engineering
  meets the intent of the market. The car that
  illustrates the best use of engineering to meet
  the design goals and the best understanding of
  the design by the team members will win the
  design event.
• The purpose of this event is enhance your
  ability to gain knowledge and then put into
  practice.
• Cost This event challenges teams to produce a
  report with a full breakdown of the cost of their
  car. Including the costs of not just bought-in
  components and materials but challenges teams to
  accurately cost the parts they make themselves
  and therefore challenges teams to gain an
  in-depth understanding of the manufacturing
  methods that are involved in producing their
  designs.
• The purpose of this event is to give you the
  experience of optimising your designs with
  regards to budget, which is concept relevant to
  every form of engineering.
• Business Presentation The objective of the
  presentation event is to evaluate the teams
  ability to develop and deliver a comprehensive
  business case that will convince the executives
  of a manufacturing firm that the teams design
  best meets the demands of the amateur, weekend,
  autocross racing market and that it can be
  profitably manufactured and marketed.
  Presentations are evaluated on the contents,
  organization and visual aids as well as the
  presenters delivery and the teams response to
  questions.
• This event is designed to give you an experience
  in the world of marketing, i.e. to give an
  experience of having to go and sell your designs
  and making your designs profitable.

• Dynamic events
• Skid-pad The objective of the skid-pad event is
  to measure the cars cornering ability on a flat
  surface while making a constant-radius turn.
• Acceleration The acceleration event evaluates
  the cars acceleration in a straight line on flat
  pavement.
• Autocross The objective of the autocross event
  is to evaluate the car's maneuverability and
  handling qualities on a tight course without the
  hindrance of competing cars. The autocross course
  will combine the performance features of
  acceleration, braking, and cornering into one
  event.
• Endurance The Endurance Event is designed to
  evaluate the overall performance of the car and
  to test the cars reliability. The race is 22Km
  long and cars can reach up to 80mph on the
  straights.
