UJI Motorsport, the Formula Student team of the Universitat Jaume I, travels to the Euro-Ring circuit in Hungary to compete in the Formula Student, the student motorcycle championship considered the prelude to Formula 1. From 20 to 23 July, UJI students will test the car entirely designed and built by them.

Last January UJI Motorsport, with only two years of experience, managed to qualify for the first time in the Hungarian capital being the first Spanish team to do so. For four days, more than 30 teams of young university students from around the world will show the work of a whole season in different tests, both static and dynamic.

The car of this season shows a clear evolution with respect to the one of the past season so much at motor level, as of design and aerodynamics. With a new completely modified Suzuki engine for optimization and more aerodynamic ergonomics are expected to achieve good results during the competitions thus improving the previous year.

The next appointment of the team will be on 24 August  at the mythical circuit of Montmeló in Barcelona. Between both competitions, the team will travel to different circuits and tracks to be able to test the new car and correct the appropriate faults to ensure a good performance on the Catalan track. In addition, new aerodynamic elements will be incorporated that will guarantee results for the equipment.

**A low-cost car**

Despite the large differences in budgets between teams, UJI Motorsport has managed to create a competitive car at the same level of other universities with budgets that exceed one million euros, as is the case of some German or American teams.

As for Spanish teams, the UJI is the team with the most economic car since it is valued at about €40,000, followed by the University of Bizkaia with a budget of €85,000. The budget includes the manufacture of the vehicle, events and trips that are made to compete.

**Formula Student, the future of automotive engineering**

Formula Student (FS) is the most important motor student competition in Europe. Sponsored by major engineers and companies such as Bosch, Land Rover, Jaguar or Mercedes Benz, the competition helps young engineers innovate and train in the world of motorsport for more than 30 years.

The test creates the ideal setting for students to demonstrate and assess their capabilities to offer a complex and integrated product in the demanding environment of a motoring competition, as well as the perfect opportunity to be seen by large companies in the sector that are betting on young talent.
