Formula Student, the students' design competition. Young engineers from more than 600 teams worldwide are tinkering with innovative racing vehicles and pushing the technically feasible to its limits. All to compete in 8 different statistical as well as dynamic disciplines at international racing events this summer in 3 different vehicle classes: Internal Combustion, Electric and Driverless vehicles. Starting with a dream and founded as the second youngest Austrian student racing team in 2007, we participated in international Formula Student competitions for the first time in 2008 with a self-developed and constructed vehicle. What started as a small group has meanwhile developed into a real extended family: In the meantime, the team comprises almost 100 racing enthusiastic members from various fields of study and different nationalities. From the classics of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science to economics and oriental studies, everything is represented here. It is precisely these different student origins and backgrounds that bring a wide range of knowledge and shape the very special and unique team spirit. With the increasing number of members over the years, our team structure has become more and more complex, resulting in the formation of specialized modules that focus on their respective mechanical, electronic or organizational tasks. In total, we consist of 14 such modules.
