Running from 3rd-7th July 2012 at the world-famous Silverstone circuit, the event showcases the talent and ability of young engineers from around the world. ## What is the Formula Student challenge? Teams competing in Formula Student have the challenge of creating their very own single-seater race car. It must all be completed in one academic year and suitable for autocross or sprints. This involves designing and building all parts of the car themselves. ![Formula student 3](https://www.concurrent-engineering.co.uk/hs-fs/file-217562934-png/images/formula_student_3.png?width=300&height=249&name=formula_student_3.png) But, it’s not all just about building a car from scratch (as if that wasn’t enough of a challenge). Teams also compete against each other in business categories, showcasing the development of their car, making the business case for their decisions and showing the value of their design. ## What do the students get out of Formula Student? It’s an opportunity for engineering students to test their skills and abilities in a real-life situation. On top of this, it gives them the chance to build their business, communications and team working skills- all valuable experiences. And with two days of competing still to go, it looks like we’re going to be in for a good weekend.
