HAN Formula Student hasn't added a story.
Introduction:
HAN Formula Student (HFS) is a young team of talented, motivated and ambitious students from all over the world who are doing their best to build a racing car. However, racecars are costly to build, so additional funding is vital to the team's success.
Mission & Vision:
Our primary mission is to create a Formula car that is able to compete against other teams from a variety of universities. Our success from last years has given us the confidence to aim for the top 25 this year, challenging and motivating us to be stronger, go faster and perform better.
Apart from that, as students, we aim to gain knowledge in the engineering process and the motorsport industry as a whole. We want to develop skills that can be used in our future careers and gain working experience to give the theory that we all have learned a practical application. A project like Formula Student perfectly suits our goals since it allows us to have a clear target in mind and the competition inspires us to reach our full potential.
Even though the engineering side of the project is the most important, there are many other factors to be considered. For instance, managing the team is not a technical job but still crucial to smooth operation of the project. The financing, sponsoring and media-advertising also require a lot of effort and time, so must not be taken for granted.
About Formula Student:
Formula Student is the world’s most established educational motorsport competition. They hold events in many different countries in Europe, America, Asia, and Australia. The goal of this contest is to gather the best and brightest young engineers and have them combine their skills and knowledge to make a difference.
Teams from universities all over the world are challenged to design and build a single-seat, open-wheel racing car. With this car they will participate in static and dynamic events to demonstrate the vehicle and the team’s understanding of it.
The competition gives students real-world experience in engineering, project management, business operations and working with people from different cultural backgrounds. With over 3000 students participating in the Germany event alone, Formula Student is regarded as a prestigious competition and a great working experience.
Accomplishments:
The team itself performed admirably during our initial Formula Student Germany competition. The goal we had was simply to make a reliable and rule-compliant car that was able to complete all dynamic events in the competition. Our expectations were surpassed – out of 115 teams, HFS took the 50th place. HFS managed to complete all the activities in the event competing for the first time, which is a tremendous achievement on its own for any team’s first attempt.
In 2017 – our second year – the car was so much better, faster and more advanced. Through blood sweat and tears, our engineers were able to assemble a fully functional racing car and were even able to make adjustments to improve efficiency and reliability in record time. Apart from the racing event itself, our team showed the full knowledge of the processes involved in making the car, the technological aspects and the overall management of the project.
Why support the project?
You can a make a huge difference to us. The total costs of the project are estimated at around €25,000. That being said, every euro that we manage to raise above this amount will be spent on improving the car even further. Our car’s performance could be improved by using higher quality parts, lightweight materials and more sophisticated production methods. Additionally, being able to afford more testing time, data-logging equipment and extra sets of tires would ensure consistent and reliable performance during the competition.
HFS racing is all about giving the smartest of engineering students a chance to rise up to the challenge. By supporting us, you give the future generation this chance. We want to become the best at making this type of racing cars. One day projects like this will give these students the knowledge and insight so wide that they will bring a positive change to the automotive industry. The more support we receive, the more freedom we have to experiment and improve our skills, the car itself and the future.
