Formula SAE Italy

The Formula SAE Italy competition brings together approximately 100 teams from all over the world to design and build a single-seat racing car. Competing teams spend one year designing, building, and testing their cars. Then, at the circuit Riccardo Paletti in Varano de’ Melegari, Italy, they present their projects as well as demonstrate their technical solutions on the racetrack by competing in various static and dynamic events.
