Team Details

FS Team Tallinn comes from Estonia and is one of very few eastern European teams competing in the worldwide FSAE competitions. We first came together in December 2006 and since then have competed in all main competitions in Europe and United States. In our first ever competition in Silverstone 2008 we won the Best Newcomer trophy. In 2010 it was followed by 7th overall. In the past two years we have twice won the Baltic Open competition and therefore established ourselves as one of the best teams in Northern Europe. This year we are building our third, most advanced car yet - the FEST11. Our latest prototype combines all of our earlier experience. We have focused on not only saving weigh but also maximizing the power output and dynamics of the car. All components are analyzed through different computer aided simulations, manufacturing is done to the highest standard - nothing is being left out of attention. This year we have taken our customization to a completely new level.

The combined Formula Student team of Tallinn University of Technology and Tallinn University of Applied Sciences, FS Team Tallinn continued from where they left on their debut season of 2008 and went to design their second racecar, the FEST09. While continuing to improve their basic concept of a reliable and widely adjustable car, the team will also introduce some more advanced technologies to the new formula, such as electropneumatical gearshift, 3D-printed parts and extensive use of carbon fiber. Weight optimisation by the means of thorough FEM analysis and lighter materials together with more precise engine setup were the main objectives for the team. Attention has also been given to improving the appearance of the car. A completely new carbon fiber bodywork with more aggressive and modern look was penned by the students of the Estonian Academy of Arts. FS Team Tallinn will enter two events in 2009, besides Formula Student Germany, Baltic Open is also included to the season calendar
