2023
Car #169
Info
Superior engineering is a Formula Student team from University of Ljubljana. The team was established in 2015. This year, we are competing with our fifth electric car. The two electric motors power the rear axles and draw current from the battery mounted underneath the car. This year's design is a bit of a revolution as we apply some new design concepts to our racecar, such as chassis and battery design. After last year's car problems, we are coming back stronger and faster!

Info
Superior engineering is a formula student team from University of Ljubljana. We have built our first formula student race car in 2015 and have presented 4 others since. This year, we are competing with our third electric car. The two electric motors power the rear axles and draw current from the battery which is mounted from underneath the car. The design is a bit of a revolution as we apply some new design concepts to our racecar.

Car 169 – 2019
2019
Car #169
Info
Superior Engineering was formed in late 2015 from a group of colleagues attending mainly mechanical and electrical courses in the University of Ljubljana. In the first two years we built two combustion cars before switching to an electric drivetrain for the next two cars as our main focus. The latter one, named Svarog features a monocoque chassis, revised powertrain, improved ergonomics and driver assists while being robust and reliable with an emphasis on extensive testing before the season.
