Formula Student is an international competition in which top engineering students design, build and race a single seat racing car. The team comprises a mixture of 3rd and 4th year UoL students, allowing the years of previous experience to be passed on to future team members.

Formula Student is about building future engineering talent by designing and producing a single-seater racing car, not just in design and manufacture, but in many of the management, marketing and people skills so vital in the modern world, across all sectors of employment. The Annual Formula Student Event, where teams have their work judged by Industry specialists and demonstrate the performance of the car, is held at the end of each academic year normally in early July. The Formula Student UK event is held at Silverstone Race Track.

This tour will comprise seeing the cars that the students have manufactured over the years (they make one per year), seeing the rolling road and the workshop. During the tour, you will see and learn about the activity involved in preparing a working car for the start of July, ahead of the Formula Student UK event. You can see the students’ efforts here: http://www.ulm.formulastudent.org.uk
