Abstract „The Formula Student competition is for students to conceive, design, fabricate, and compete with small formula-style racing cars.” Formula Student is the European answer to the American Formula SAETM that was launched in the United States in 1981 by the ‘Society of Automotive Engineers’ as college competition series. Based on the American model the Formula Student was launched in 1999 in Great Britain. The rules are very similar to those of the Formula SAE so that the teams can participate in events of both competition series. The European competition series also added the areas of project management and project presentation. Since 2005 also Italy is running an event and in 2006 the Formula Student Germany took place for the first time on the Hockenheimring. In the moment there are ten official events worldwide. The significant increase of participants around the world and especially in Germany proof the success of Formula Student.
