Team Details

The Otaniemi Flying Finns Formula SAE / Student team (OFF for short) was founded in November 2007, and presently contains 20 students in its service with students' study disciplines vary from mechanical engineering to electronics and material sciences. Formula Student Germany 2008 will be its first entry. From the start the team considered simulation and optimization to be important factors in high-performance development. Students in the team have found a way to unite their academic interests with their passion for automotive engineering and motorsports - be it fluid mechanics, engine combustion, machine design et cetera. The FO-1 will contain a few rather rare properties - the transmission and drivetrain probably stand out most from the common standards. From an external as well as an engineering standpoint, the aerodynamics provide an interestingly different view as well. OFF is happy to participate in FSG 08!
