Jo Passingham

Interim CEO, Institution of Mechanical Engineers

I welcome you to Formula Student 2026 at Silverstone.

Building on the success of last year’s event, it is a pleasure to welcome our global community of students, volunteers, partners and industry supporters to one of the Institution’s flagship engineering showcases.

Formula Student represents engineering at its very best: innovation, teamwork, creativity and determination brought together in pursuit of a common goal. It embodies our commitment to inspiring the next generation of engineers and equipping them with the skills, confidence and experience needed to tackle the challenges of tomorrow.

For every team here, this week marks the culmination of months—often years—of hard work, problem-solving and perseverance. The cars on display are impressive achievements in their own right, but Formula Student is about far more than the vehicles. It is where ideas become reality, where classroom learning meets real-world application, and where future engineers develop the professional skills, resilience and leadership qualities that will shape their careers.

As engineering continues to evolve, so too does Formula Student. The growth of our autonomous vehicle competition, supported by the Department for Business and Trade’s Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) programme, alongside initiatives such as this year’s pre-event dynamic test day, demonstrates our commitment to innovation and ensuring participants

gain experience at the forefront of the profession.

None of this would be possible without the extraordinary dedication of our volunteer community. To our judges, scrutineers, marshals, officials and the many volunteers working tirelessly behind the scenes, thank you. Your expertise, commitment and generosity are the foundation upon which Formula Student is built. You help create a competition that is safe, rigorous and inspiring, but more importantly, you help shape the engineers who will design, build and improve the world around us. Formula Student simply could not happen without you.

To all our competitors, congratulations on reaching this stage. Take pride in what you have achieved and make the most of every opportunity this week presents— on track, in the paddock and through the friendships, conversations and professional connections that will stay with you long after the event has ended.

And to the young people joining us, I hope what you see here sparks your imagination. Engineering changes lives, solves problems and drives progress. Every engineer's journey starts somewhere, and for many, moments like these are where that journey truly begins.

Formula Student has always been about more than a competition. It is a celebration of talent, ambition and the remarkable things that can be achieved when people come together to learn, create and push boundaries.

I wish you all a rewarding, successful and memorable week at Silverstone.

Dr Andrew Deakin FIMECHE

Chair, IMechE Formula Student Organising Committee

Welcome to Formula Student 2026

On behalf of the organising committee, welcome back to Silverstone for another brilliant year’s competition of Formula Student. If the recent weather’s anything to go by, we’re in for a week of hot weather and hot action out on the track too.

2025 brought us a fantastic event, with electric cars taking all three top places for the first time in many years. Our top three built on experience gained from previous years and proves that those teams that develop their cars based on lessons learned go on to achieve greater results in their next outing.

This encapsulates the primary benefit of the Formula Student experience: giving young engineers a competition that puts their academic learning into a practical project. Mistakes may be made, but as Nikki Lauda once said, you learn more from your mistakes than your successes, and Formula Student gives ample opportunity for both.

As for this year’s lineup, it’s as packed a grid as ever, and I’m happy to see five teams entering hybrid cars this year, including previous winners Edith Cowan University from Australia and University of Modena in Italy. It will be exciting to see how these vehicles perform when they hit the tarmac.

Elsewhere in the competition, I am delighted to see so many FS-AI entries this year, with nearly 30 teams taking part in our autonomous vehicle challenge. This beats last year’s record by at least half a dozen teams, including our first American team joining us to compete.

This exemplifies the global demand for student with these autonomous design skills and the continued importance of FS-AI as part of the competition.

On behalf of the Organising Committee and the IMechE, we are grateful for the continued support of our event partners Ansys, Babcock, HASS Foundation, Mathworks, FS-AI Partners Babcock International, ZF, Mathworks, Quanser and IPG Automotive, our Category Sponsors Avonside, Multimatic, RS and Atlassian Williams F1 team, and exhibitors Cummins, Dewesoft, Onshape and Royal Navy. Your support enables the IMechE to continue to host this event and provide students with these valuable opportunities to learn and develop. Our thanks also go to our fuel providers Coryton for their SUSTAIN branded sustainable fuels, and for the continued funding by the UK Government to enable our FS-AI competition.

I’d also like to recognise our committee members and volunteers for their time and expertise in judging, rules, scoring, and more over the past year. Delivering the IMechE’s biggest event takes significant effort but is always rewarding—I hope you agree.

Finally, best of luck to all teams and students over the coming days Whether you’re competing in FS, Concept, or FS -AI.

I’ll see you out on track!

What is Formula Student?

Formula Student is Europe’s most established educational engineering competition which uses motorsport to inspire students. Backed by industry and high-profile engineers, the competition aims to develop enterprising and innovative young engineers and encourage more young people to take up a career in engineering.

The competition is split into two parts: static events, which test the team’s business logic, design and costing skills, and dynamic events, which test the performance and durability of their vehicle.

All students get a chance to demonstrate their technical, engineering design and manufacturing skills while meeting deadlines. Gaining experience in teamwork, time and project management, budgeting and more, students come out of the competition with valuable and practical skills that set them up for a bright career in engineering.

The Challenge

The competition is split into two parts: static events, which test the team’s business logic, design and costing skills, and dynamic events, which test the performance and durability of their vehicle.

The teams are tasked to produce a prototype for a single-seat race car for autocross or sprint racing and present it to a hypothetical manufacturing firm. The car must be high performance in terms of its acceleration, braking and handling qualities whilst being low in cost, easy to maintain and reliable. During the competition the teams must demonstrate the logic behind the proposal and must be able to demonstrate that it can support a viable business model with rigorous testing.

Developed with IPG Automotive, the now mandatory Lap Time Simulation event will also see students gain experience in developing vehicles using virtual testing techniques, further adding to their skills.

Growing each year, Formula Student –Artificial Intelligence (FS-AI) challenges student teams to develop an AI driver capable of controlling a vehicle through a series of real-world challenges. The competition is designed to evolve to keep pace with the skills requirements of the UK autonomous vehicles and artificial intelligence sectors.

Teams compete across several event categories, including the requirement for the students to consider real world autonomous scenarios

Students have the option to design and run their own autonomous vehicle while developing their AI code. Alternatively, they may use the competition’s purpose-built Autonomous Driving Systems Driverless Vehicle (ADS-DV), which has been developed by the IMechE with funding from the Centre for Connected & Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV) via Innovate UK.

Another new activity is the FS Sim Racing series. Supported by Williams E-Sports, the series attracts dozens of teams around the world to take part in competitive and fun races each month, with the finals hosted at Williams’ Grove headquarters. Through racing events and regular engineering challenges, students learn to optimise their dynamic vehicle setup and adapt their race strategies to varying conditions and scenarios, readying them for similar race-critical roles in motorsport.

SUSTAIN fuels to power more than half the Formula Student 2026 field

100% sustainable fuels will be used for all internal combustion and hybrid entrants at Formula Student 2026

More than half of the 72 teams entered will run on SUSTAIN, with the remainder of the field competing in EVs

2024 winner Edith Cowan Racing returns to Formula Student following its record-breaking victory powered by SUSTAIN

As sustainable fuels move further into the motorsport mainstream, SUSTAIN will continue its partnership with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) for Formula Student 2026, supplying sustainable fuels for all teams competing in an internal combustion engine or hybrid race car.

The finals, bringing together university teams from around the world, will take place in July at Silverstone. Of the 72 teams entered in Formula Student’s Class Teams category this year, 39 will compete in either an internal combustion engine or a hybrid car using SUSTAIN fuel – up from 35 in 2025. The remaining entries will be electric vehicles.

We’re delighted to be returning to Formula Student for 2026 and continuing our partnership with IMechE. With motorsport increasingly embracing sustainable fuel technologies, including Formula 1’s move to advanced sustainable fuels this year, the competition is a valuable showcase for the role they can play alongside electrification. It also gives the next generation of engineers hands-on experience using more environmentally friendly liquid fuels in motorsport.

Suresh Nahar, Brand Manager at SUSTAIN

Working with SUSTAIN gives Formula Student participants the opportunity to engage directly with sustainable fuel technology in a competitive environment. Motorsport has always been a powerful testbed for engineering progress, and this partnership helps students understand how sustainable fuels can support the future of mobility while proving that performance and sustainability can go hand in hand.

Naomi Rolfe, Formula Student Project Manager

The Formula Student competition challenges engineering students to design, manufacture and run a singleseater race car. Complementing their academic studies with a real-world engineering project, the competition provides opportunities for students to broaden their knowledge, practical skills and teamwork abilities.

The 39 teams running internal combustion engines or hybrid powertrains will be fuelled with SUSTAIN Racing 100E (107 RON), which is 82% ethanol, or SUSTAIN 100 (95 RON), which is 10% ethanol. These fuels are made from 100% sustainable materials and will deliver an 85% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuel, when calculated using a full life cycle analysis.

SUSTAIN products use advanced second-generation biofuel manufactured from food and agricultural waste, such as straw, byproducts or waste from crops which wouldn’t be used for consumption. This content utilises the carbon that already exists in our atmosphere, which the plants absorb as they grow, recycling it, rather than releasing additional CO2 that is currently locked underground in fossil fuel.

SUSTAIN has delivered strong results at Formula Student in recent years, fuelling all competitors racing with an internal combustion engine. SUSTAINfuelled teams from the University of Modena in Italy and Edith Cowan Racing in Australia won in 2023 and 2024, respectively. Edith Cowan Racing returns to this year’s competition following its record-breaking victory in 2024, in a bid to win the trophy again in Formula Student 2026.

FSBizkaia’s journey to victory with simulation

Our 2025 champions outline how they leveraged simulation software to optimise their vehicle

When FSBizkaia (FSB) from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/ EHU) rolled onto the track at Formula Student 2025, they bought nearly two decades of engineering evolution, a commitment to innovation, and a deep reliance on simulation for their most successful season yet.

After six years building combustion cars, FSB went electric in 2012. Simulations had shown that while electric powertrains added weight and complexity, they offered far greater potentials: instant torque, higher efficiency, the ability to control each motor independently, and more.

“This strategic shift was driven by the pursuit of greater technological potential, improved performance, and a more sustainable approach to motorsport,” says Ibone Mancisidor, technical manager and an industrial engineering student specialising in mechanical engineering.

That decision shaped everything that followed. Over the next decade, the team refined its electric vehicle architecture, with their first allwheel-drive in 2022. The team used extensive simulation to evaluate torque distribution, traction, and regenerative braking, all key parameters.

A year of innovation

The development of FSB2025 followed a year-long process. The design phase was three stages: viability, pre-design, and detailed design. Each department collaborated to ensure that each subsystem was optimised and integrated with one another, leveraging Ansys’ tools enabling the team to virtually test and refine ideas based on precise data.

“We use Ansys Mechanical as our primary simulation tool,” explains Mancisidor. “It’s essential for validating any component we design and manufacture, allowing us to analyse its structural performance under realistic conditions before production.”

Once the design was finalised, the focus shifted to manufacturing and assembly, then testing and validation. Track testing was crucial for collecting performance data, fine-tuning setups, and ensuring the car met regulations. This rigorous testing helped identify any issues early, allowing for adjustments.

From Simulation to the Track

Ansys software played a critical role for their 2025 vehicle. Mechanical software served as a primary resource for conducting FEA and simulate how parts would respond to realistic loads before manufacturing began. The ACP tool was instrumental in working with composite materials, allowing them to define the layup configurations of the monocoque.

Instead of producing physical samples, simulations provided accurate predictions, helping reduce material use by 30% and shortened the design cycle, and test earlier. “Simulation allowed us to focus our resources where they mattered most,” says Mancisidor. “We could evaluate multiple design options quickly, find the optimal solution, and move forward with confidence.”

When the FSB2025 hit the Silverstone circuit in July 2025, it represented the culmination of a year’s worth of hard work, simulation, and collaboration.

The car’s balance of lightweight design, high stiffness, and reliable performance helped the team outperform competitors, earning the overall championship title for the first time.

The victory marked not only a technical triumph but a validation of the team’s simulation-driven workflow, confirming what months of analysis in Ansys software predicted.

Digital Twins & Dream Careers

Event captain James “Monty” Montgomery reflects on the impact of the Sim Racing Series

Walking around the Silverstone paddock, you can feel the energy and see the physical race cars. But alongside the traditional grease and gears, a quiet revolution is taking place: the digital world is just as critical as the physical one.

This fast-paced e-sports and data analysis championship runs throughout the academic year. It is a high-tech training ground where students apply mathematical and scientific skills to gain a competitive advantage, including

advanced data analysis, vehicle setup engineering, and split-second strategy.

For the industry, it shows how a passion for racing can evolve into a highly paid, professional engineering career.

The series traces back to 2020, when the COVID pandemic forced Formula Student to run virtually, continuing the following year. What started with 26 universities has transformed into a global phenomenon featuring 73 teams and over 250 drivers, pushing the limits of digital motorsport.

This year’s championship delivered some of the most unpredictable, edge-of-yourseat racing ever. Teams had to think like F1 strategists, with strict tyre compound choices and clever weight-reduction regulations, together with short technical reports advising on set problems and presenting a clear solution.

The Ultimate Meritocracy: From Bedroom to Boardroom

Historically, breaking into motorsport depended on "who you know" or having deep pockets. This series completely rewrites that, providing a level playing field. The modern grid features students studying business, finance, computer science, and other STEM fields, and because data is the lifeblood of modern industry, these skills transfer perfectly to a virtual pit wall. The server only cares about data, dedication, problem solving and lap times: this is true inclusion.

The Ultimate Career Accelerator

The series has become a proven launchpad. Teams start having "never played a racing game" and finish on the podium, grinding out practice laps, and using digital data to perfect the suspension geometry on a physical car.

Most importantly, it opens doors straight into dream motorsport careers:

• Nev Cohen (University of Glasgow): used his data analysis reports managing the virtual pit wall to secure a Driver Development Student Placement at Red Bull Racing.

• Jonathan Wheater (University of Salford): caught the eyes of industry talent scouts, becoming a Graduate Manufacturing Engineer at Mercedes AMG HPP.

• Aaron Farmer (Cardiff University): His virtual driving and strategy calls earned him a role at Haas F1 Team as a Junior Strategy Engineer.

• Michael Preston (University of Southampton): Part of the first team to win the series, he is now a Team Academy Engineer for Williams F1.

An international championship is thanks to our incredible community; a massive thank you to Williams Sim Racing for their valuable partnership, mentorship, and for setting the gold standard that inspires our students. We also thank our tireless team of volunteer committee members, running servers late into the night and managing live broadcasts, your passion is the engine behind this entire series.

Q & A with a Formula Student Expert

The Technological Leap

Q: How has the Formula Student car transformed since you first joined the competition?

When God was a boy and I did FS, the rules only allowed 610cc engines only and had much less stringent requirements on the chassis. That made it much easier to make a light car.

Battery technology was literal generations behind where we are today so the sub 200kg 4wd EVs we see now were just not feasible.

The other most noticeable change is the prevalence of aerodynamic elements, although I remain to be convinced that these are adding performance on a lot of the cars.

The laws of physics however haven’t changed, so the fundamentals of what makes a great car remain the same.

Q: The Standout Innovation

In your nearly 20 years of interrogating student designs, what is the most ingenious, unconventional, or surprising engineering solution you’ve ever seen a team bring to Silverstone?

It would be unfair on the teams to pick one and my memory certainly isn’t what it used to be, I’d hate to be reminded of something and then wish I’d changed my answer!

It’s increasingly hard for the teams to innovate when the rules have been relatively stable for so long.

What continues to impress me, innovative or not, are well executed elegant designs

that are still sympathetic to the method of manufacture and haven’t just had the “cash cannon” fired at them.

Q: The Career Launchpad

Over your time in the competition, you have watched tens of thousands of competitors make their successful debut into industry. In what ways have you seen experience of Formula Student uniquely shape or accelerate their career trajectory?

In each team there are always a few individuals who really get stuck in, living and breathing the experience and probably taking a few years off their life in the process, who will likely go on to be highly successful in their chosen career path.

It’s not just limited to those few individuals. There aren’t many other ways to get real word experience of working on a complex, timebound, multi-disciplinary project before graduating. That experience makes them more rounded, competent and capable engineers.

Q: The Lifelong Paddock Family

Beyond the engineering, the camaraderie among the volunteers is unmatched. What have the lifelong friendships you’ve made here meant to you, and what makes giving your time to this event so uniquely rewarding?

My time as both a student and a volunteer for many years since has been genuinely life changing both professionally and personally. It’s opened doors for me that I never dreamed of walking through as a kid.

So for me it’s all about the people I bump into a few months or years after they’ve graduated, who’ve landed their dream job because of their FS experience. Job done.

Q: The Legacy Milestone

What has been the biggest change you have seen from the competitors and the competition?

The size of some of the teams and the complexity of the cars. Some of the teams are larger than the smaller F1 teams on the grid, managing a group that large is immensely challenging and likely not optimal!

Q: The Future Landscape

As the automotive landscape shifts toward software-defined vehicles, sustainable and alternative fuels, and automation, what specific technical areas or disciplines should future Formula Student teams focus on mastering to stay ahead of the curve?

The world changes so quickly, some things you can see coming, others will completely blind side you. Having a great understanding of first principles and being able to relate and apply those to practical applications, will mean you stay relevant, what ever lands in your lap.

Q: Retro Reflection

If you could go back to your own student days, what is the single biggest piece of advice you would give your younger self before rolling a car onto the grid?

Very specific to my experience but relevant lessons:

Check your sponsor gave you a legal engine before building it into the car

The bodge will nearly always bite you eventually

You can do it!

The Lightning Lap

Quick-Fire Questions with our Chief Judge. 3-second time limit!

Q: How do you feel about being a living meme?

Mildly discombobulated!

Q: What’s the best moment of any FS event?

The delight at a team passing scrutineering / getting out on track for the first time ever.

Q: The golden rule of engineering that isn’t written in any textbook?

Perfect doesn’t exist, every choice you make is a compromise of some kind.

Q: Coffee, energy drinks, or pure adrenaline to survive the Formula student weekend?

Coffee, adrenaline and Haribo!

Q: The best sound in the paddock: a perfectly tuned engine or absolute silence after a successful scrutineering pass?

A crisp well mapped engine all day long

Q: Most underrated tool in a student paddock tool kit?

Ingenuity

Q: Be honest: how many times a weekend do you actually want to scream "READ THE RULES"?

Not so many by the time we get to the event, the FSQD is another matter….

Q: Cable ties or duct tape: which is the unsung hero keeping a team’s vehicle dreams together?

Both, as well as Hopes and Dreams!

Q: When teams lend their own spare parts to help a direct rival make the grid, is that a tactical mistake or the true spirit of Formula Student?

100% the spirit of FS

Q: Fill in the blank: "There is no 'I' in... "READ THE RULES!”

COVENTRY UNIVERSITY PHOENIX RACING

CU Phoenix Racing enters its 25th year as a team in 2026, celebrating their Silver Jubilee. The last few years have provided success to the team, with top 3 finishes in Sprint four years in a row, and at least one dynamic event win per year since 2022. Phoenix Racing are incredibly proud of their Internal Combustion roots, and are even more proud of their powertrain – a turbocharged Kawasaki Ninja 400 engine producing 105 bhp. Their vehicle package weighs under 200kg dry, and features many changes made in the interest of reliability. 2025 was Phoenix

Racing’s best year on record for static events, and this year they aim to improve on this by reaching the finals of all events and winning Lap Time Simulation. As well as this, the team aims to finish endurance, and keep their record as the fastest car on track. The team has developed a culture of winners, and aims to harness that this year for success. Phoenix Racing would like to take this opportunity to thank all of their sponsors for their continued support, especially Edding who have provided the team with extensive support this season.

EIGSI FORMULA TEAM

Representing EIGSI La Rochelle, the EIGSI Formula Team was founded in late 2023 and quickly made an impact with a top 10 Concept Class finish in 2025. This year, the team has taken on the ambitious challenge of building a single-seater in just ten months for its first FS Class participation. Whilst prioritising reliability, the team stands out through technical choices derived from the aerospace industry, such as ultra-lightweight technical fabric for the bodywork. Despite opting for an internal combustion engine, a focus is placed on reducing the car’s environmental footprint by incorporating flax fibres.

Structured like a professional company with 74 members across five departments, the team is open to all students, placing peer-to-peer learning at its heart. Driven by resolve and a collaborative spirit, the team targets the Business Plan finals, a top 5 at Design Presentation, and completing all dynamic events. As an independent and self-funded project, the team owes its success to the commitment of its partners and sponsors. The team also thanks the professors and staff at EIGSI for their invaluable support since the start of this adventure.

The history behind the team is that in July 2007, Göran Karlsson, a teacher from Karlstad University, brought a group of students to Silverstone circuit to see what Formula Student was all about and to see how the competition worked. The idea was to inspire the start of Karlstad University´s own Formula Student project, which happened in the fall of 2007.

Clear River Racing is the name that the newly started team took when they built their first Formula Student car, CRR08; inspired by the river that runs through Karlstad. Clear River Racing has participated thirteen times in the completion at Silverstone Circuit. Clear River Racing´s team of 2021 was the first team to build a car with electrical drivetrain and that started a new chapter for Clear River Racing. They are now building their 6th electrical car, CRR26.

Edinburgh University Formula Student Driverless (DDT) is the team from The University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom. EUFS was founded in 2014 and entered FSUK with a concept. In 2018 we entered the FS-AI competition as part of DDT. Since the first year we entered in 2018, EUFS have won the overall FS-AI competition for 8 years, including most recently in 2025. Over the years, we have prioritised the robustness of our software stack, with a strong focus on resilience to adverse conditions such as sensor failures. This year, we have placed a major emphasis on improving our hardware platform to get

the most out of the ADS-DV. Our aim is to increase perception range and accuracy through improved fusion of camera and LiDAR data, while also pushing the limits of vehicle control and overall system capability. Building on what we’ve previously shared with the FS-AI community, this year we’ve open-sourced our new simulation, eufs_sim2, along with a set of map utilities, which is available for other FS-AI teams to use. We would like to thank our sponsors and the University of Edinburgh for their continued support of the team, which helps makes our work possible.

NottsAiR is returning for its second year competing in FS-AI, following our first year in which we passed static inspections and gained valuable experience from the event. For 2026, our focus has been on building from that foundation, strengthening our team structure and improving the reliability of our autonomous systems. We have been working on a more complete ROS 2 based architecture, with improvements across perception, planning, control and simulation testing, as well

as preparing the team for more effective integration with the vehicle. This year has also been important for growing the team, bringing together students from Computer Science, Engineering and other areas of the university. We would especially like to thank the School of Computer Science for their funding and continued support, which has made our FS-AI entry possible this year, as well as the Faculty of Engineering for funding the camera that has supported our perception development.

FORMULA STUDENT BIZKAIA AI

Formula Student Bizkaia launched in 2006 with a combustion engine singleseater, evolving until 2012 when the focus shifted completely to electric mobility. In 2021, the team created a dedicated Driverless division to merge artificial intelligence with advanced control engineering. Since our debut in the FS-AI competition in 2022, we have continuously refined our autonomous systems to push the boundaries of autonomous racing. This season, our ambition is at an all-time high as we revive the FSB2021 to serve as our platform. Due to the pandemic, this car never had the chance to travel to Silverstone, but it now returns with the ultimate opportunity to win a competition.

Our primary goal is to achieve a Top 3 finish in the DDT category and to secure 1st place in the newly introduced Autonomous Platform Cup (APC). To reach these targets, we have completely overhauled our software architecture, successfully migrating our entire control and path planning pipelines to C++ to maximize efficiency and performance. Our upgraded autonomous system features a brand-new SLAM and localization setup, a new AI perception model for our ZED 2i stereo camera, and an improved sensor fusion pipeline integrating data from our Ouster OS1-32 LiDAR and Owa450. To seamlessly handle this intensive computational load, we are now utilizing an OnLogic Karbon 803 as our primary processing unit.
