This summer, the time has come: Ghent University students will take their self-built electric racing car to the Formula Student competition, a series of races for engineering students from all over the world. What started as a lockdown project by a few engineering students has now grown into an ambitious multidisciplinary undertaking.
To single-handedly build a racing car - for a group of university students, it’s certainly no mean feat. Today, they are already working hard on a second model, and with this new model they now have their sights set even higher. This is the story of a group of engineering students who had absolutely no desire to spend yet another year “on hold” because of corona. In the meantime, their “business” is up and running, and it is a well–oiled machine that would be the envy of many professional companies.
