- On Tuesday, 30 July 2024, the University of Cape Town's Electrical and Mechanical Engineering students launched the Formula Student Africa UCT racing team (FSA UCT). The team aims to design and build a single-seater electric formula car for the prestigious Formula Student (FS) competition in 2026. The team comprises a dedicated group of undergraduate and Master's students, all driven by a shared passion for innovation and sustainability in automotive engineering.
With hopes of inspiring a new generation of engineers and secure the necessary resources to win the competition, the team is committed to integrating cutting-edge electrical technologies to enhance the car's efficiency and performance. Key features include a high-powered density motor, a lithium phosphate battery with a built-in Battery Management System (BMS), and a diffuser to optimise speed.
