The Sociedad de Técnicos de Automoción (STA) [Spanish Engineers Association] is organising the seventh edition of the Formula Student Spain with the participation of 70 international teams, composed of 1,750 engineering students from 14 different countries.
This competition aims to promote excellence in engineering studies. During the year, all of the participants work on the design and construction of a race car, which shall be tested on its efficiency, business plan and all of the engineering work behind the prototype.
During the course of the competition, the Formula Student teams are evaluated both at a theoretical and practical level. They are required to show their knowledge and management capacity, from the construction of the car to a marketing plan or economic planning. In this manner FSS 2016 promotes talent amongst young engineers from all over the world, as the competition includes aspects of the automotive industry including the investigation, design, manufacture, tests, development, marketing, administration and finance.
