SKN PolSL Racing in the next Formula Student class competition
The PolSl Racing Science Club will take part in the next Formula Student class competition in the summer season of 2023. Thanks to the funding obtained from the Metropolis of Upper Silesia and Zagłębie under the "Metropolitan Fund for Science Support" Program in 2022-2024, members of the PolSl Racing Science Club will take part in one of the rounds of the international Formula Student competition.
Formula Student is an annual series of international competitions, the aim of which is to present and test racing cars developed and built by students of the best universities using innovative solutions and materials. The cars are subject to substantive assessment by recognized world experts and industry specialists. The competition itself is divided into some static competitions, during which, among others, engineering and dynamic solutions applied in the cars are tested in track conditions.
Thanks to the funding granted by the Upper Silesian-Zagłębie Metropolis (GZM) obtained through a competition under the "Metropolitan Fund for Science Support" Program in 2022-2024, members of the PolSl Racing Science Club will take part in one of the rounds of these prestigious engineering competitions organized this year annually by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), while promoting the research and development potential of students of technology faculties from the Metropolis GZM area. Participation in the games is planned in one of the European Union countries - in Italy, Germany, Hungary or the Czech Republic - depending on the results of the mandatory pre-qualification stage.
During the competition, students of the PolSl Racing Science Club will present the capabilities of the modernized SW-04e car using the results of its members' research projects carried out in the formula of project-based learning (PBL), e.g. concerning the development of proprietary systems focused around the aspects of the effective use and consumption of electricity in means of road transport,
The project "Participation of the team of the Student Science Club of the Silesian University of Technology PolSl Racing in the international competition of the Formula Student class" was co-financed by the Metropolis of Upper Silesia and Zagłębie under the "Metropolitan Fund for the Support of Science in the years 2022-2024" program.
