Metropolia Motorsport is a small team from southern Finland.
We have a location where tools and equipment are close at hand thanks to our University and many other Finnish companies. We have a tendency to manufacture most of our parts ourselves in high quality. Our strength is in the wide understanding of the requirements in the design of an electric sports vehicle.
Our team has the strength of twenty-four members of which the team core is less than half. We are a very motivated small group who are aiming to challenge dominating European teams.
The main focus for the new car has been reliability. Due to problems the earlier season we decided to make manufacturing as easy as possible to increase the length of our test season. Our main goal is to have a season where the high reliability of the car would be our advantage in the competitions.
Our voyage will start from Finland by truck. We will attend at least three competitions this season.
