Download the full guidance document from Forms and Documents under the Guidance tab.

Hopefully your builds are well progressed now and you are testing and beginning to think about preparation for the static events. With regards to that I have an update on the expectations for 2023 for the Cost and Manufacturing Event. The good news is the requirements are very similar to last year so we are looking for you to build and improve through evolution.

Key points to remember!:

"Your Formula Student Team have been approached by a new single seat racing league that is setting up a global competition in multiple countries , they have seen your prospective frame and body design and really interested in taking on your proposed design for use in there global series."

"They would like you to present how you would scale up your current manufacturing setup from the current single one off product to a production run of 12,000 units over the next 5 years. "

Hopefully the document will give you all the information you need at this stage. I wish you the best of luck for Formula Student this year and can’t wait to meet you all properly at Silverstone. Keep pushing… The results will be worth it.

Best Regards,

John Dangerfield
