The Formula Student Team joanneum racing graz was founded in 2003, 2004 was our first season. It currently consists of 70 team members. Our members come from a wide range of different studies at U.A.S. Graz. In Formula Student, teams of university students design, develop and fabricate a small race car and compete with it at the competitions. The race car has to comply with the regulations. A Formula Student Competition is split into the following classes: Internal Combustion Engine Vehicle (CV), Electric Vehicle (EV) and Driverless Vehicle (DV). There are static and dynamic events and also technical and mechanical inspections. Static events include, for example, the presentation of a business plan, i.e. an idea on how to integrate the race car in a profitable business. Dynamic Events include Skidpad, Acceleration, Autocross and Endurance. Our last season in 2019 was special for us: we managed to win FSA and FSEast for the first time. FSA is our home race as it takes place at the Red Bull Ring in Austria. This year we participate in the competitions FSA, FSN, FS Italy and FS East. In the Formula Student Combustion ranking, we are currently ranked 4th among the European teams and 14th in the world. The jr21 isour latest and last race car with a combustion engine.
