What is Formula Student?
Formula Student is a long-standing international competition that challenges engineering students to design, build and compete with their own single-seater car. For a year, students work outside lectures to bring the project to life and compete in one of the three categories: internal combustion, electric or autonomous.
The tests, which evaluate the speed, stability, reliability and energy efficiency of the vehicle, are divided into static (presentation of the business plan, cost and technical design) and dynamic (Skyppad, Acceleration, Autocross, Endurance and Efficiency).

The event, closely followed by major brands such as Ferrari, Porsche, Ford or Tesla to detect and attract young talent, has led, for instance, to one of the FSUPV team members, Iván Balmaña, being signed by Aston Martin, the current team of two-time Fórmula 1 world champion Fernando Alonso.
