Formula Student
"Whether or not you want to work in motor racing, if you want to be an engineer, there is no better thing you can do while at university than get involved in Formula Student.”
James Allison, Technical Director of Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport
"Whether the competitors graduate to careers in motorsport or a different sector of engineering, Formula Student will help towards their future success."
Ross Brawn, Managing Director of Motorsport for Formula One Management
"Engineers naturally want to be hands on and make stuff! - and with a university degree it’s obviously very academic. Formula Student brings those academic skills to life. The level of work is extraordinary. There are some incredible cars being produced, and the technology is quite breath-taking."
Paddy Lowe, Chief Technical Officer, Williams Martini Racing
"I'm really excited to be able to come back to Silverstone again for this year's exciting Formula Student event. There are always innovations and steps forward so I'm looking forward to see the new ideas that the students have been able to put into the new designs."
Willem Toet, Motorsport, F1 and Aerodynamics Specialist
"Since attending the first ever Formula Student meeting at a damp and cold MIRA, it has been wonderful to watch it grow over the years into the premier event it has become, attracting teams from around the world. Apart from it being a challenging but enriching experience for the students themselves, what has been superb to see is the value that professional race teams, including Formula 1, put on the event. I know that when it comes to looking at CVs, those students who have been on a Formula Student team stand a much better chance of being noticed and considered above all others. This alone underscores the value of Formula Student.
Formula Student is a great event and I am very proud to be part of it."
