Formula Student Germany may be the best race engineering competition if not the best overall racing competition in the world. The top teams far exceed the technical expertise seen in club racing and I now know for a fact that the knowledge level of best teams in Formula Student / Formula SAE even exceed that of some in F!! In addition, many of the drivers are nationally if not internationally competitive racers.

This is where Formula SAE and Formula Student teams from engineering schools around the world build a new formula race car every year and compete in engineering design, cost presentation, marketing presentation, skid pad, acceleration, autocross and endurance events. The team accumulating the most total points from all events is named champion for the year.

Should anyone have an interest in watching the free livestream from the FSG competition in Germany this weekend, August 1 - 3, 2014, here is the link and schedule: https://formulastudent.tv/en/events/formula-student-germany-2014

Here is the link to FSG: https://www.formulastudent.de/

And here is the link to FSAE: http://students.sae.org/cds/formulaseries/

Of course I have my favorite – GFR / Oregon State University – my alma mater, won FSG last year and FSAE Michigan this year and makes use of my shop, and perhaps a bit of advice, for tuning shocks.

GO BEAV'S!
