Students’ Engineering Group (SEG) is the first Russian team in the history of FS. SEG was founded in 2005 and since then the team have released three concepts FSM-600-1, FSM-500-2 a.k.a. “Adrenaline” and FSM-500-3 a.k.a. “IndiGO!”. During these years, team members learned how to survive in complicated conditions. For the last year, the team has done great management work and obtained more support from the university and sponsors. Absolutely, the team has proved its right to existence. So now the team is ready to show a higher quality level.
This year SEG presents a new concept: FSM-500-4. The team applied the whole accumulated experience and tried to improve most shortages and defects of previous concepts. The main idea of the project includes simplicity of construction and simplicity of vehicle operation that allows low-experienced racers to drive and maintain the car.
