Formula Student
Dear FS East teams,
As the organising committee for Formula Student in the UK we were devastated to hear that FS East has been cancelled this year. The competition organiser has asked if we can host your teams at our competition and this is something we really want to support.
Formula Student takes place 16-20 July at the home of Formula 1, Silverstone circuit. We have an exciting event planned this year, including introduction of unlimited runs for the Acceleration, Skid Pad and Sprint dynamic events.
As Formula Student takes place in July, there is very little time to put arrangements in place, both for us as organisers and for you as competitors. However, we recognise the huge amount of work that you have put into preparing for Formula Student and we want to take every opportunity to allow you to compete.
To aid our planning we would like to know if your team is interested in attending our event.
Please let us know if you are interested in principle by emailing fs@imeche.org.
We recognise that you have paid entry fees to FS East, and we are considering what we can do to help if finances could restrict your participation in an event.
We offer visa support and information on shipping items to the UK on our website. In terms of rule compliance, we will accept SES, IAD and ESF approvals from other events. We operate with different TSAL requirements to other European events, but it is possible to make your TSAL compliant with our rules with minimal effort. We will work with and advise you on how to achieve this.
We will confirm further details about how we would accommodate you at our event (judging capacity, scrutineering, camping etc.) as soon as we can.
Please indicate your interest in attending by the 20th of June, by emailing fs@imeche.org with:
- Your Team Name
- University Name
- Nominated Point of Contact: Name, Email and Phone Number)
- Entry type: CV (LV hybrid accepted), EV, Driverless
- Any specific issues we should be aware of to enable your attendance
Similarly, if you do not wish to take up the offer we would be interested to know why.
Your expression of interest does not commit you to attending, or commit us to hosting you, but early understanding of the potential demand for places will help us in our planning.
We look forward to FS East returning to the Hungaroring next year.
Best regards,
The FS UK Team
