«Formula Student» is an international engineering design competition, that is held yearly at different places all around the world. It was founded 20 years ago as the biggest student competition in the USA by the «Society of Automotive Engineers» (SAE). Since 1998 the competition is being held in europe as well.
Over 430 teams wordwide (around 140 from europe) compete with their completely self designed and manufactured prototype-race-cars against each other. For winning the event a team must not only have a fast car, but has to be able to convince with a combination of good engineering design, race performance, cost efficiency and salesmanship.
AMZ Racing Team competes since 2010 with an electric race car in the electric class of Formula Student.
