Team profile

CRT is a pioneer team that was created just in 2013 within a generalist Engineering school in France, Ecole Centrale Paris. 28 students, 12 nationalities, completely different backgrounds, this is our added value.  For our first edition, the aim was to succeed conceiving and building a FSAE car from sketches, taking part in the Silverstone event, and creating our own legacy at ECP.

We are divided in 6 groups according to system/function: chassis, powertrain, drivetrain, suspension, pedalbox/security and electronics.

We count another group, the management one which works to assure a good communication flux internally and face to our sponsors.

As a rookie team, we decided to conceive a FSAE car to satisty the minimal requirements, taking care of security aspects and constraints. The award would be to pilot the car we managed to made by our own. We have worked following a clear strategy, we have focused to reliability, regardless maximum optimization (such as weight or dimensions) , aesthetics and perfect design.

We may thank our partners: RS Kunststoff, Brico-Dêpot, Castorama, Amada, Arcelormittal, Lycée Jean Macé, Lycée Jean Jaurés, BDE, Akka Technologies, Arrow and to all our supporters.
