Evodays – preparing for the Formula Student Competition

During EVODays all Formula Race cars went through full-scrutineering, Engineering Design, Business Presentation, AutoX and Endurance. Besides that was lots of testing time on the beautiful track of Genk.

The URE13 is the latest all wheel driven racecar, ready to compete in the 2018 season and it is able to go from 0-100 km/h in 2.3 seconds! That is faster than a Tesla model S!

The car weighs 193 kg and is only 2,9 meters long so it is very agile which is needed on the extremely curvy racetracks.

AutoX

The driving dynamics and handling qualities of a racecar are being tested on a course of about one kilometer through a sequence of straights and curves.

Endurance

Over a distance of 22 kilometers the cars have to prove their durability under long-term conditions. Acceleration, speed, handling, dynamics, efficiency, reliability ... they have to prove it all. The Endurance also demands handling skills of the driver as there can be up to five cars on the track at the same time.

The Formula Student Competition

Formula Student is a platform for the next generation of world class engineers. It is world’s most prestigious engineering competition for students and it is organized by SAE International. The competition was organized in Europe for the first time in 1998 because there was a big demand for young engineers with practical experience in terms of teamwork, design and project planning. However, in the US the competition was introduced in 1978. Currently around 700 student teams are participating worldwide.
