Team Profile
2013 is the University of Iceland’s third year participating in the Formula Student competition. The experience gained at Silverstone 2011 and Silverstone 2012 has been of great benefit for the team. The team ecided to compete in Class 2 this summer instead of Class 1 due to major changes of the team’s core. The goal this year was to enhance last year’s design and therefore try to limit expenses. Like last year, this year’s focus has been on incorporating sustainable materials into the design with special attention on basalt fibers. Our goal for this year’s competition is to have a good design and do better than last year in all of the Class 2 categories.
