Sorry, but you need to log in, before you can access the registration!

Registration for the 2012 Event starts on January 16, 2012 1200 CET. Early registration is possible for the FSE 2011 Top Five Overall Finishers from January 9, 1200 CET till January 15, 1200 CET.

 

Please read the following information carefully before registering!!!

The main features of the registration process and their background at a glance:

  1. Before being allowed to register your team for FSE 2012 a quiz on the competition rules, both FSE 2012 and FSAE 2012, and basic principals of electrical engineering must be completed. Only if all questions have been answered correctly the registration website allows you to proceed and register your team for FSE 2012. The questions will be in multiple-choice form and you are allowed to repeat the test an indefinite number of times until all questions are answered correctly. (Note that for every try the order of the questions will be different.) This way a team's ability to register depends on its preparation rather than on the speed of its internet connection.
  2. Team members are not allowed to be registered for both an FSC and an FSE team. This is to prevent universities competing in both the FSC and FSE competition of having an unfair advantage, using the same experts in both teams. Also it will help to prevent confusion as of who is allowed to work on an electric car and who is not.
  3. To register for an other Formula SAE/Student competition, a team must go to the website of the respective competition and follow the instructions.

What do I have to do to register a team?

In advance (if you have not yet done it):

  • Register your team at www.formulastudent.de.
  • Register team members and define 1 to 3 team captains.
  • Make sure all team members have carefully read and understood the rules.
  • Make sure your web browser supports JavaScript.
  • Make sure you have a PayPal account - the registration fee has to be paid via PayPal! You'll need 750 Euros on your PayPal account or a valid credit card and a verified account. The verification process takes up to one week to complete! PayPal-payments made by direct debit are not allowed on this site.

These items are the necessary basis for registering a team for the FSE 2012!

Important note:
The website will not allow for new entries or changes on January 9, 2012 (early registration) and on January 16, 2012 (regular registration) from 1100 CET to 1300 CET!

On January 9, 2012 (early registration)
On January 16, 2012 (regular registration)

1100 CET

The database will be closed on the FSE website and will move to another server. You will at that point find the link to the registration server.

1130 CET

Now it will be possible for the team captains to log in to the registration server with your usual account.

Please note:
ONLY for the team captains!
This means: If you registered 3 team captains until 1100 CET, you will have 3 goes.

Please note:
A session ID will be assigned for each of the team captains.
This means: 3 team captains - 3 goes. Not more!

The session ID is necessary to avoid that more than one person logs in with one account at the same time. A session ID will expire after 10 minutes. This means that you will automatically be logged out after 10 minutes and then you can log in again (a new session ID will be created). If you close the browser by mistake you can log in again when the session ID expires after 10 minutes. Your valid time period is displayed in the left frame.

If you want to stay logged in for some time to not miss the start, proceed as follows: Log in once and then refresh the site every 3 or 5 minutes by using the button "reset timeout" or the browser function "refresh".
(Alternatively you can log out and then log in again.)

1200 CET - Step 1 (Regular Registration Only)

The registration begins!

  1. Refresh the site! The registration quiz will appear.
  2. Mark the correct answers.
  3. Click the button "Submit Answers!"

If one or more of the answers you checked are wrong the quiz will reappear indicating that one or more questions have been answered incorrectly. The quiz can be resubmitted every thirty seconds until all questions have been answered correctly. Every try the order of the questions will change. Each question only has one right answer. However, please note you are not allowed to submit the quiz form more than once every thirty seconds!

The quiz will contain questions regarding basics of electrical engineering and knowledge of the competition rules, both FSE 2012 and FSAE 2012. A sample question set can be found here: http://testregistry.formulastudent.de/ The content of the sample questions does not have to be representative for the actual registration quiz. Please note the quiz form requires a web browser supporting JavaScript.

1200 CET - Step 2

Once you completed the quiz successfully you can continue to the registration.

  1. A box "Registration Data" will appear.
  2. Put a check mark on the field to agree to the rules!
  3. Click the button "Register now!"

Done!

If you have successfully reserved one of the 32 starting slots, the next site will confirm your team's registration to the FSE 2012.
If you could not reserve one of the 32 starting slots, the next site will display this information to you and your team will be added to the waiting list.

1200 CET - Step 3

Now choose your car number!

  1. Check in the overview if your desired car number is available.
  2. Type your desired car number in the field "car number".
  3. Click the button "Choose Car Number!"

Done!

If you were successful, you will see the overview of all teams and their car numbers registered so far.
If another team managed to reserve the same car number just before you, you will be offered a new chance to choose a car number until you have got one.

Please note:
Two digits only!

Please note:
The car numbers 1 to 10 are reserved for the teams who achieved these positions in last year's event.

1230 CET

The database will be closed on the registration server and move back to the FSE website. The main server is going to send you some confirmation emails and you will find payment-links in your team area.

1300 CET

The database has returned to the regular FSE website.

  • For those teams who didn't register during the first 30 minutes: Registration is open again. If there are still starting slots available, try again.
  • For all registered teams: You can now complete the registration by paying the registration fee and registering the participating team members.
  • For everyone: The overview of registered teams will now be visible for everyone.

The following 72 hours

After registering your team you have 72 hours to transfer the registration fee of 750 Euros via PayPal. PayPal-payments made by direct debit are not possible on this site.

The team is registered for the 2012 competition when the due amount arrives.

If the registration fee has not arrived via PayPal within 72 hours after entering the desired car number the registration will be deleted.

Additional information: Registration deadline, waiting list, withdrawal

Registration is possible until the February 27, 2012 or until the limit of 32 teams is reached, whichever occurs first. Further teams can enter a waiting list until the February 27, 2012.
