Info
We are a motivated Belgian team with approximately 20 students from different backgrounds but all with an affinity for Racing and cars in general. The concept we chose to further develop is our "Side Engine". The concept was developed by last year's team and we chose to further develop and refine this concept. In this setup we put the motor next to the driver to centralise all mass, giving our car low inertial properties and good handling in the corners. This setup also helps us in creating a relatively short car.
