Team Profile

The FST 05e is the 5th car built by Projecto FST Novabase, during our 13years of history. After participating in Germany and Spain in 2011 and Silverstone in 2012 with our first electric car, we decided to build a much more competitive and lightweight prototype. FST 05e achieved an overall win in Class2 in FS UK 2012 (including a win in the design and business plan events).

We are now aiming to present a reflection of that result this year in Silverstone. Our team consists of 32 enthusiastic students, all extra-curricular, from mechanical, electrical, informatics and aerospace engineering. We are eager to learn as much as possible during this participation in FS UK, and feel free to give us some feedback about our car. We also want to leave a word of gratitude to our Sponsors, always being in our project, and making our dream come true. Visit our team on www.projectofst.com or www.facebook.com/projectofst
