On Saturday, November 7th, 2026, the FSG Academy at Helsing in Munich opened the 2027 season. 300 participants from 64 teams and 10 countries took part, from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Bulgaria and Romania as well as from Norway and from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
The program covered the rules for 2027, technical inspection, the static disciplines and the experiences of last season's teams, including the FSG 2026 overall winner ETH Zürich and the Driverless Cup winner TU Hamburg. In parallel, FSG officials met the team captains to discuss organisational topics and feedback from the 2026 season.
Thank you, Helsing

Registration for FSG 2027: no more quiz
In the panel discussion we presented why the registration quiz in its current form is no longer suitable: an AI model answered the quiz questions of the last ten years of European competitions with 98% accuracy, taking 10 to 45 seconds per question.
FSG will therefore no longer use a conventional registration quiz. The procedure is currently being aligned with the other European competitions. We expect to announce how FSG will implement it by Christmas, together with the publication of the FSG 2027 Event Handbook.
