Electronics

Electronics, the black magic department. This contains all the parts that you can’t see, but are crucial for a great car. All sensors and safety systems will be designed and maintained by this team. The focus is of this department is to improve the reliability on every component while making sure that the car still pushes it’s limits.

Driverless

With the driverless department we want to improve our driverless package. Both the software side made up of several algorithms and controllers and the hardware side made up of the steering motor, LiDAR, safety systems and much more. Trying to make a driverless car drive faster without it making mistakes is our focus.

Vehicle Dynamics

The Vehicle Dynamics department is dedicated to optimizing the performance of our race car by looking at everything that has to do with the movement of the vehicle on the track. This includes both hardware and software aspects, from the design and implementation of key components such as steering, suspension, and tyres, to the simulation and development of algorithms for torque vectoring and traction control. Improving the speed of the car is all this department dreams about.

Chassis

The Chassis department is committed to maximizing the structural performance of our electric race car, focusing on every aspect related to the frame and body of the vehicle. This includes both physical and computational elements from the design and fabrication of critical components such as the monocoque and mounting points. Every decision in this department aims to create a lightweight yet robust chassis, providing the foundation for the car’s speed, safety, and handling on the track.

Aerodynamics

The Aero department will focus on improving and extending the aerodynamics of the car whilst keeping an eye on the R&D of next year’s car. The goal of an aero package is to create downforce so that a higher cornering speed can be achieved. However, effects such as drag need to be minimized. To come up with innovative solutions for these problems, specialized software is used to increase the performance and efficiency of this package.

Powertrain

The Powertrain department is dedicated to designing the core components that drive our electric race car, ensuring optimal power delivery and efficiency. This includes the mechanical design of critical systems such as the battery, in-wheel motors, motor drives, gearboxes, uprights, rims, cooling systems, and brakes. Every component is carefully engineered to maximize performance, from efficient energy transfer to precision braking and thermal management. The department’s goal is to create a seamless integration of these systems, unleashing the full potential of the car on the track.

Research & Development

The Research and Development department is a crucial pillar of our team, composed of thesis students focused on evaluating which parts, algorithms, materials,… we will use in our future cars. Through targeted research on topics related to various departments, these students aim to bring innovative solutions that will lay the groundwork for future improvements. Whether it’s advanced materials, cutting-edge aerodynamics or novel control systems, R&D drives the continuous evolution of our car. In motorsport, staying ahead means constant innovation and Formula Student is no exception.
