Formula Student Sets Record at F1's Home

 
RMIT small.JPG         Formula Student 2007 was a fantastic success when it celebrated its 10th year at the prestigious Silverstone Circuit. More than 2000 students competed, which is the largest number of entrants yet, and all corners of the globe were represented. As well as over 30 UK teams, countries from as far a field as Korea, the United States, Finland, India, Japan and Iran took part. The overall winners were RMIT University and a list of the Winners of FS2007 can be found here. Congratulations to all FS2007 participants!
  

New Class 1(A) Category

This exciting new category for FS2008, sponsored by Flybrid Systems and EEMS, will favour the low CO2 nature of the fuels and the smaller engine capacity. This will allow the development of alternatively fuelled vehicles within the Formula Student framework.

 

A draft outline of the Class 1(A) category can be found here. The Press Launch took place on 22 October at Silverstone and the Press Release is available here. Please see here for the links to the news footage.

Are you aware of the New Percy Rule?


All teams need to be aware of the driver size rule.
