ISAT Formula Student team was created in 2003, and is composed of 13 students in their first year. The whole team is renewed each year and team members work on this project in parallel with attending Mechanical Engineering courses. The main purpose of this project is to enable students to discover how to design and build an entire car and how to work in an autonomous way. This year is very important for us because we have changed our engine and ECU system. We also tried to work hard on weight reduction in order to compensate for the heavy weight of the new engine. We also decided to enlarge the car and to improve ergonomics for the driver. We thank all of our sponsors and will be doing our best to embrace the best results we can this summer.
