Students design a single-seat Formula One-style car that they can use to compete against international teams. The team with the best overall package of design, performance, financial, and sales planning wins the international design competition rather than just the team with the fastest car. 

Formula Student pushes its team members to go above and beyond in their education by integrating real-world building and manufacturing experience with a close examination of the economics of the automotive sector. Groups assume the role of a manufacturer working on a prototype that will be considered for mass production. Excellent handling, braking, and acceleration qualities are required of the vehicle. It ought to be dependable and available at a very affordable price. In addition, other elements like comfort, style, and the use of easily accessible, standard purchase components raise the car's market value.
