Insight on race car design

Venue: Room “B102” DII, Via Sommarive, 9 Povo (TN) Time: 17:00Pm-19:00Pm

This year University of Trento started a team of undergraduate and graduate students to design and build from scratch a formula-style car to compete at International Formula SAE events against other Universities. Design and build a race car is a challenging task which requires organisation, commitment, knowledge and passion among other skills.
