This is the second year for EUFS at Formula Student.
Last year we competed in the Class 2 competition and we are now ready to step up to Class 1! These first two years have been a huge learning curve for us and we are motivated to keep growing in future years. The philosophy behind our 2016 car’s design was to keep it simple, reliable and cost effective: this seemed like the most reasonable way to go for a completely new team. We are extremely proud of the progress we have made so far and we would like to thank the University of Edinburgh, EUSA, Zen Consultants, American Muscle, R-Tech, National Instruments, Solid Works and Murrayfield Projects for helping us make this happen!
