Class Definitions

There are 5 entry classes in FSUK, designed to allow progressive learning. Formula Student (FSUK) is a student engineering competition held annually in the UK. Student teams from around the world design, build, test, and race a small-scale formula style racing car. ...


Class 1: This is the class which is similar to the Formula SAE competition in which teams design, manufacture and race fully working cars built solely for the event, the car can not be entered into class 1 again after its first year, instead it can be entered into class 1-200 Class 1-200: This is when the car from the previous years class 1 entry is re-entered and re-engineered to allow the students to gain experience for the class 1 event. Class 2 : This is the class for teams that have a car that is nearly fully ready for class 1 but do not compete in the dynamic events. Class 3: This is the initial entry point into FSUK in which teams design cars to Formula SAE rules but do not manufacture them, allowing them to get some good design feedback before they manufacture. Class 3a is a development class in which the feasibility of alternative fuelled vehicles is developed. // Formula SAE is a student design competition sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers. ...

Formula Student - The IET (875 words)
Formula student is also becoming important in the recruitment both of students on to engineering courses at universities and graduate engineers into industry.  Chief judge Ian Milburn says that universities are starting to use Formula Student as a marketing tool.
Formula Student is different from Formula SAE in that it is designed to be progressive learning exercise throughout a three or four year academic course and students can identify their work as Initial Professional Development (IPD) which goes towards their future professional qualifications.
The Annual Formula Student Event, where teams have their work judged by Industry specialists and demonstrate the performance of the car, is held at the end of each academic year normally in early July.
