The WUT Racing team is taking part in the Formula SAE competition for the third time. The team consist of nearly 50 highly motivated students from 7 different faculties of the Warsaw University of Technology. Basing on our knowledge gained during studies and “know-how” from previous competitions we have decided to keep moving and try out our skills among other Formula SAE teams around the world constructing a new, better car.

Our purpose was to build a vehicle that would be reliable and could finish all dynamic events. Because of the tight budget we had to optimize the costs of final manufacturing while keeping quality and driver’s safety at the highest possible level. Based on experience gained in the past and being aware how much effort is required to finish this project, we have decided to keep construction of our car as simple and cheap as it is possible. In future we want to develop our car from year to year, make it lighter, more powerful and easier to drive.

Big thanks to all of the sponsors, who make this project possible: Arrinera, Santander, ModelART, Kongsberg, Bosch, Materialise, SKF, Elesa Ganter, Inter Cars, Gumo-Hurt, PBF, NEW CUT.
