Hello and welcome to Imperial Racing! As part of the Imperial Formula Student Team, you are participating in one of the most exciting and fun projects at Imperial.
Last year the team started completely from scratch, with a new vision and direction. We rebranded the team and in September 2009 put together a strong 4th year team with the 3rd years joining in the middle of October. We entered for the design prize in 2010 and came 4th in Class 2.
For those who have not heard of Formula Student before, it is an International Competition that challenges students to design, make and test an open wheeled weekend racer within the following brief:
“The 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, and the firm is planning to produce 1,000 cars per year at a cost below $25,000 (c £16,000, €21,000).”
All Formula Student participants should be aware of the Formula Student rules, which can be found here (PDF)
