Education first. Then speed.
Our team consists of passionate students divided into modules, each with a leader who coordinates its members. Building a race car in so little time with limited resources takes a lot of hard work. The team only works because students and supervisors give up their free time to the project.
The main goal of the team is education. Working on the car gives students real experience and qualifications. Members come mainly from the Department of Mechanical Engineering & Aeronautics of the University of Patras, and since 2013 also from Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Economics and Business Administration.
Since 2014 the team works with a philosophy of resource efficiency. Design and materials are assessed so that they are environmentally friendly and give the best price-to-performance ratio.
This has led to “out of the box” thinking and highly innovative ideas: non-conventional approaches in areas with established technology, and new manufacturing methods. It develops critical thinkers and future engineers, and it captures the spirit of Formula Student.
