Info
The Lessius Racing Team is the first Belgian Formula student team founded in 2009. The team is connected to UAS Lessius Mechelen - Campus de Nayer, situated in Sint-Katelijne-Waver, Belgium. For our second fully-built car we've decided to go electric. This choice was made because we believe electric drivetrains are the future and we want to make the students accustomed with this green technology. The team also managed to spread the bio-story over other components of the car. Full bio-composite bodypanels and floor-elements are used. The manufacturing process of the uprights is also more eco-friendly. The car is put together by about 20 students from the engineering department and about the same number of students from the technology department. They’ve worked hard since the ending of last school year to finish the design and fabrication on time to compete in Formula Student UK and Formula Student Germany. We'd like to thank all our sponsors for their financial and material support.
