    I also took part in the Formula Student, when I was in University. Today I switch sides and now I am a judge in the cost and manufactoring event. I had met some from Bath Racing - but I haven't judge them yet. 😁

    What’s funny about this series is it puts on full display just how important having sponsorships and being backed by your factory in this case school is. my local university partakes (purdue me) in this and it’s basically a passion project with zero funding from the school and everything is done by the students and then you have teams in Germany that are almost a kin to a works program. it’s a cool concept but my problem with it is for something that’s supposed to be low on the totem pole and inclusive for all students it still requires absorbent amounts of money to perform at any level that’s satisfying and sustainable for a program.

      That's fair enough, but I guess that doesn't take away from giving everyone an opportunity. It's more referring to how much the universities are willing to pay to fund the team 👍

      My friends actually participated and I actually helped with body fabrication and livery design as it was zero funded project from my university because the university board wasnt interested as their focus was on another competition.
      They made a chassis with junk parts with an engine from a scooter and collaborated with a bunch of other phd students who end up fitting their thesis onto our car especially those in the area of fluid dynamics, chemical and sensor technology.
      The radical design was the car being insanely low and with mechanical moving mass that reacts to the balance. (Owing to aerodynamic effect is weak because these cars are not fast)
      Focusing entirely on mechanical grip, the car looks like a pinewood derby lol and It kinda dominated until our engine blew up that caused our driver to crash. And we retired entirely due to being out of budget to repair lol but still keeping 2nd place.

    Great video despite the Bath/UK bias ;)
    I've been a complete disgrace as a student, never dared dreaming about working in Motorsports (despite following with a massive passion), when I ended up on a Red Bull backed, Austrian Formula Student team by accident for three years, cumulating in an invitation to a job interview for a NASCAR team straight out of design judging. Despite the visa falling through, it opened the door to freelance GT4 race/data engineering and a full-time engineering position in Formula E, contributing to winning two double world championships so far.
    The only thing this video is not covering: how useful Formula Student is for networking. I failed to finish my Master's degree yet I never applied for any job because people kept reaching out to me.
    Formula Student deserves more content like this!

    My Alma Mater, the University of Florida, has one of these teams and I've been able to tour the garage and design area a handful of times. Those kids take this VERY seriously and it was very common to see the lights on very late at night because a few students were designing parts on solidworks or doing some sort of work on the car. It was really cool to see and my Gators even had a Porche sponsorship, which definitely made their jackets look really cool

I work in the aerodynamics area of our car but as you said, it's hard to build everything with carbon fiber, because of the money or the knowledge on how to proper use it. Nevertheless we are proud of what we achieve with so little. Congratulations everybody that makes the effort to keep pushing this kind of projects forward!!

    I did Formula SAE when I was in university (in Canada) but the amount of time and effort you have to put in outside of your regular school hours is crazy. The programs aren't well funded by a lot of universities. It's a great outlet to learn a lot of automotive fundamentals but I wish it just had more support from the schools.

    It's not that they go for big downforce, it's just that they go at such a low speed that they need to have a large surface with an aggressive angle of attack to have some downforce that will make a difference (low Reynolds number aerodynamic). Fiberglass can be used to lower the cost and have more points for the cost report, the 600 CC engine is to powerfull to be at 100% for most of the track anyways. And yes it can be a good cradle for talent. Ten years after being the composite leader in 1999 for the FSAE at ÉTS in Montreal, I was an engineering lead for windmills repairs overlooking sixty workers on three sites in the US mid-west.

    I'm not on our university's FSAE team, but I am on our Baja (offroading) team and it's a challenge building a car in time. We have the advantage of not really worrying about aero (unless Cal Poly's aero kit catches on) and engine (standardized kohler engine), but we have many of the same problems as FSAE. The university seems to hate student teams and has been funding us less and less while our ambitions keep growing. And it's not just funding they're shorting us on. They're handicapping our machine shop access, which sucks since we try to make as many parts as possible in-house. A lot of the good universities have amazing support behind their teams, and without it teams struggle. I wish more universities would step up and properly fund and equip their student teams so that they can compete at their very best instead of having to worry about whether they'll have enough money to make it to competition every year

    I'm assuming Formula Student is another term for Formula SAE (that's what me and my Baja friends call it anyways).
    My school has two student teams for SAE: Baja and Formula. Only the prior actually makes time to get into the shop and put together a vehicle, so I naturally joined them to spice up my resume. I'm not really that big of a car guy, but the skills used to get this whole project moving on the ground and being able to take a beating on rough terrain are what some companies are looking for.
    Regardless, I'm sure every SAE CDS (Collegiate Design Series) grants a world of opportunities to students who participate and put real effort into their project(s).

    I am really inspired by ur videos and awesome content.
    I'm not sure if this question is relevant, but I just wanted to ask
    After my Bachelor's in Visual communication, what master's should I take to get into F1 . And any top colleges for suggestions.
    I would be glad to hear an answer and it would be beneficial for my career.
    I really appreciate any help you can provide.

    Hi i am working on a complete new formula student team. And i design the suspension.
    My question is. Where does your suspension sit on ? The wishbone or the uprights.
    I know i am a competitor, but our team is a totally new team (because og Corona) so we are not a strong competitor

    • @tcs36
      @tcs36 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not entirely sure what you mean but the wheel is held in place by bearings in the upright. The upright is attached to the wishbones. Vertical suspension travel is done by applying load to the pushrods/pullrods which are in some way attached to the shocks, so effectively the car sits on these.
      Suspension design isn't simple. Read race car vehicle dynamics by Milliken and Milliken

    If Formula Student isn't hosted anywhere in the country, can we work with Formula Student and our university to bring the Formula Student competition to the institution? Like we would form a team within a club in the university, and contact Formula Student to let us participate.

    • @xX12VincEXx
      @xX12VincEXx ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes. You can form a formula student club in your university. If you want participate in the Events with your car, you need to follow the rules. Most of the european Events mostly use the Formula Student Germany rules. Also the Handbook of each event says some things you have to keep in mind.
      Formula Student is the racing category. If you want to participate in the Events in Europe, you can register your Team at the Formula Student Germany site, I think.
