Our Team

Sinds a young age, I already knew that I would end up in the automotive industry. For me it was not an if but rather a when question. I started reading books about the mechanical parts of a car and why they are so important. Because of the complexity, there was no way to really practice this knowledge. Therefore I practiced working on my bike or even doing maintenance on our car together with my dad. By joining Formula Electric Belgium I got surrounded with people that share this same passion.

I’m situated in the vehicle dynamics department. Finding the perfect balance between a good car and a perfect car makes me wanna wake up in the morning. This in combination with the close connection we have with the driver makes vehicle dynamics an awesome department to be in! We can make a difference between an undriveable and an incredible piece of machinery.

I have always been very interested in everything automotive, ever since childhood. After finishing my engineering degree, i felt that i still wanted to learn about this topic, and Formula Electric Belgium allows me to do this in a way no other classes or courses could. While the project focus is of course designing the car, along the way you pick up a lot more than only technical knowledge. Formula Electric Belgium makes you a more complete engineer, while also making one of the most innovative electric vehicles every year.

I am the head of vehicle dynamics of this year, which means that i get to study everything about how the car moves, what makes it move in this way, and how we can make sure that we get the best setup possible. This is of course the most essential aspect of the car, as well as, for me at least, one of the most interesting.

As opposed to most team members, I am not into racing cars but more into dynamic systems and the physics behind it. One reason I joined the Formula Electric Team is to have a full experience of building a fully functional competition machine in the scope of a small engineering company. Also, many non-technical skills, such as organisation, management and marketing, will be learned and put to the test to finish the project: have the best electric racing car of 2022.

I will take part in the design and realisation of the hardpoints – which are the most essential parameters for the performance and comfort of the car – in the department of vehicle dynamics.

Together with Lukas, we will run the operations, in other words, make sure everyone is where they need to be with everything they need to have and at any time.

Unlike most, I didn’t know much about motorsports until before the project. However, I was always intrigued by the mechanics that occur in all kinds of machines. And what better way to satisfy this passion than by joining the Formula Electric Belgium team. The fact that I am immersed in the world of racing cars is something I gladly accept.

Who says mechanics in the world of Formula, says vehicle dynamics. This is the rock that Jesus would build his Formula Student car on. Without a suspension and a decent steering mechanism, the car would simply be uncontrollable. For the latter, namely the steering mechanism, I stand responsible. This year I will make sure that the driver will feel 100% comfortable behind the wheel and that he will have the feeling that he is in control of the car instead of the other way around.
