Info
The Valais Wallis Racing is a Swiss Formula Student team based in the heart of the Alps. We proudly introduce Monte Rosa, our 4th car and a major milestone for the team. For the first time, one of our cars features a full 4-wheel drive system paired with 10" wheels. Many other subsystems have been enhanced, making the car lighter and more performant. Behind every bolt and every line of code stands a passionate team of students, driven by one shared goal: pushing boundaries and growing together.
Engineering Design Priorities:
4 wheel drive
10 inches wheels
Brand new suspensions
Ventilated TSAC
Wheight gain everywhere
Knowledge transmission

The Valais Wallis Racing Team presents its 3rd car this year. The last two years have been fruitful for such a young team, and we've been able to run the car in every competition. This year, we've applied what we've learned from our beginnings, to build Alpinea, a reliable car, to give our team the strongest foundation for the future. The team has grown and the challenges have changed, the main objective is to make a perennial team that will ensure we have a more impressive car every year!

The Valais-Wallis Racing Team took part in their first ever season of Formula Student last year. The team arrived to competitions with a car which only purpose was to drive in order to gain as much experience as possible. The goal was to try and manage to finish one race. This year, we have built our second car, Bella Lui, and tried to improve it everywhere we could. Our team has grown a lot since its creation and has worked very hard to be ready to take on new challenges this season.
Engineering Design Priorities:
VCU & telemetry
Powertrain motor
Vehicle dynamics
Wheel assembly
Test Bench
Learning by doing
