Queen Mary Formula Student - A team of dedicated young individuals part of Queen Mary University of London who are passionate about motorsports and eager to compete in the Formula Student Competition.
We are a student-run society filled with members from various degree programmes. Join a team of dedicated students passionate about motorsports and eager to compete.
For this 2023-2024 season's Concept Class, we submitted both an IC (Internal Combustion) concept and an EV (Electric Vehicle) concept - which placed 6th and 8th overall!
We ambitiously seek to participate at Silverstone in the IMechE Formula Student competition by designing, building and racing an F1-style single-seat race car. This will be QMUL’s fifth Formula Student car to compete in July 2025.
The main competition involves the car we have designed and built being inspected and dynamically tested together with a business and finance presentation introducing its costs and design. Learn more about the Formula Student competition here.
The associate team is where new members are helped to prepare for taking on more responsibility within QMFS in future years. Here, members will learn CAD (Solidworks licence included), presentation skills, the mechanics of building a race car and hands-on experience. Highly valued soft skills such as organising events, financing, and marketing are also gained throughout. Formula Student is not simply an engineering competition - it seeks to emulate a professional race team so there are many opportunities for those interested in business and operations.
A combination of ambitious students working within the Engineering or Operations department, collaborating to create an operational race car, acquiring sponsorships, managing finances and marketing. There are nineteen departments within QMFS - ranging from Powertrain and Chassis to Marketing and Finance.
We have members from various departments including Engineering, Business, Film & Drama, Economics and Computer Science. From teamwork to technical knowledge, you will learn invaluable skills that will carry you through university and into your chosen career. Join our team for leadership and networking opportunities, meeting new students from across the years and departments and be part of our success.
