Engineering at high speed
About us
We are a group of engineering students from the University of Minho based in the city of Guimarães (Azurém Campus) with a passion for motorsport. As the latest addition to the Formula Student scene in Portugal, we aim to deliver a project with a solid foundation and, in the short term, become a reference in the north of the country.

Formula Student
Formula Student is an international engineering competition that challenges university students to design, manufacture and compete with a racing car. The competition covers rigorous static and dynamic tests. Static tests include the team's business plan presentation, car production cost analysis and technical design evaluation. Dynamic tests assess the car's performance on the track, covering challenges such as skidpad, acceleration, autocross, endurance and efficiency. The scores obtained in these tests contribute to the calculation of the teams' overall score, thus determining the winners of each category.
Formula Student Classes

Building a Dream
Building a Formula Student car is about turning a project into reality. From the first sketch to the final adjustment, every step requires dedication and teamwork. With each assembled part, the dream becomes more tangible, and in the end, the finished car reflects the collective effort of transforming ideas into real performance.
