Team Profile
The structure of the Firenze Race Team is based on an vertical organization where the Team Leader coordinates the work of the heads of departments of the different areas. The heads of departments, as a consequence, coordinate the work of the different components of their group. The mansions are assigned based on the experience of every single component and the years dedicated to Formula SAE.
The activity of Formula SAE has as primary scope that of teaching to a group of people (around 35) how to work together as a team. This means that there has to be a strong cooperation between the single components of the team and an integration of completely different aspects that concern the building of a vehicle. As an example in our team there is a senior year student from Medical School that researches ergonomics in a close collaboration with our engineers. All the effort that we place in our work is aimed to have a final product that is validated in every component and in the whole of the vehicle. For this reason in every department there is a quality overseer and a global quality manager.
Firenze Race Team is the oldest italian team, followed by other teams with great enthusiasm.
All design work was always accompanied by the songs of Queen!
So, whatever happens, THE SHOW MUST GO ON!
