FORMULA STUDENT ROMANIA 2026

11-16 AUGUST 2026

FORMULA STUDENT COMPETITION

In order to compete against teams from around the world, students create a one-seater automobile that looks like a Formula One car. More important than having the quickest vehicle is the team's ability to demonstrate the optimal blend of design, performance, financial planning, and sales strategy.

The goal of Formula Student is to push students to think critically about the automobile industry from an economic perspective while also giving them hands-on experience in construction and manufacturing. In this scenario, groups behave as manufacturers working on a prototype for possible mass manufacturing. The vehicle needs to be dependable and affordable, and it needs to have great acceleration, braking, and handling. Comfort, style, and the use of common, easily accessible parts all contribute to its high resale value.

Each team is responsible for developing a well-thought-out single-seater formula-style vehicle and a suitable sales strategy that meets all of the requirements. Jurors with backgrounds in motorsport, automotive, and supplier industries make the final choice. Factors like construction, cost planning, and sales presentation will be considered by the jury as they assess each team's vehicle and sales strategy. The last round of testing will occur at the track, where students will demonstrate how well their self-built vehicles function in a variety of scenarios designed to mimic real life.
