Formula Student is an international design competition in which students from all over the world pursue the goal of designing and producing a single-seater formula racing car as a team and then competing in various international events. The BMW Group is not only a founding member of the German event Formula Student Germany, but has also been one of the main sponsors of the competition since its foundation in 2006.
In the course of the development process, the students constantly have to face new challenges while going through similar or even the same processes of the automotive industry. This gives the participants a unique opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge in a practical context.
In order to emerge as the winning team, it is not only crucial how the self-designed vehicle performs on the race track, but also whether the students can convince the jury of the overall package consisting of design, performance, sales presentation, costs and business plan.
