Our Mission

To become Austria's first Formula Student Team to design, build and race an electric vehicle in less than 12 months.

Innovate Relentlessly

We push the limits of lightweight materials, aerodynamics and powertrain design to prove what a student team can achieve.

Collaborate & Learn

Cross-disciplinary teamwork is our engine — mechanical, electrical, software and business students all under one hood.

Compete & Inspire

We will take the track by storm and showcase Austrian engineering excellence to the global student motorsport community.

What is Formula Student?

Formula Student is the world's largest engineering design competition, where university students design, build, and race a single-seater racing car.

Teams are judged on their engineering design, cost analysis, business presentation, and on-track performance including acceleration, skidpad, autocross, and endurance events.

At JKU Racing, we compete in the electric vehicle category, pushing the boundaries of sustainable motorsport technology.
