Formula Student FEUP

⚡️Competing to Validate - Part one⚡️

As per the current team cycle planning, the team decided early on to compete during the 2024 summer in Concept Class competitions. The team had the objective of presenting the design of the second prototype, and competing in other static events. Entering the best competitions is important, and therefore the team trained throughout the past winter to achieve that.

FS Switzerland was the first of three competitions. It was held from the 13th to the 17th of July of 2024 in
Hintermattstrasse, in the beautiful mountains of Switzerland. The level of the competition was rigorous and the team was eager to show a year’s worth of development for the first time - the new FS FEUP 02!

The feedback provided was key to refining some details for the next competitions and the development itself. Achieving the overall win, also winning all events was a statement to the team’s dedication and commitment over the past year! 🏎️💨🇨🇭

We’ve got ambitious goals. Each Department plays a pivotal role in ensuring the team can achieve these and everyone works relentlessly towards them.⚡️

The Vehicle Dynamics Department is responsible for vehicle conceptual decisions, suspension geometry design as well as its kinematic analysis and dynamic behaviour, and performance analysis using vehicle testing or virtual simulations. It encompasses the subsystems of Suspension Kinematics & Dynamics, Lap Time Simulation, and Testing.
