We will be honoured to participate at the competition in Silverstone to compare our qualities and capabilities with the best designers of student formula racing cars. We are a team from the country which produces the highest amount of cars per person and it obliges and motivates us to show that we have a creative strength and development potential, as well. Therefore we look forward to meeting the teams from other universities at the Silverstone ring in July. The team has been combined with a view to the future. This year we are competing with our second car in Silverstone and we are bringing some news: new materials (aluminium alloy, carbon), a lighter and efficient engine and a new telemetric system, to keep up with our traditional strengths as are near cost, useful construction of all the parts and a trendy design of the bodywork.Thanks to the support from the faculty, university and the team‘s pedagogical advisors we succeeded in getting over the most difficult problem – filling up the team budget at the time of the financial crisis. Applying the advanced methods of production for all parts of the car, and also applying the advanced software systems CATIA, ANSYS and ADAMS help us to design the second team car, optimized in all its parts. We hope for a successful start and a suitable weather for all the teams during the competition!
