Team Description
Bern Racing Team is the Formula Student team of Bern University of Applied Sciences in Biel, Switzerland.
We are working on our 5th electrically powered race car.
Our team exists since 2014 under the name BFS and is the second oldest Formula Student team in Switzerland
This Year's Car
2026
Info
For FSG 2026, Bern Racing Team brings Ventura, its newest prototype and the lightest car in the team’s history. With a new overall concept, revised driver position, self-developed inverter and completely redesigned aero kit, Ventura has been driving since 16 May, allowing extensive testing before the event. This also while taking our first steps toward future driverless technology. We want to thank the over 140 Swiss and international companies that made this project possible.
Engineering Design Priorities:
testing on 16.05.2026
self-developed inverter
lightest car of BRT
new aero kit
new suspension system
first steps toward DV

This season, we’ve rethought our entire concept while keeping our core architecture: a four-wheel-drive system with a steel tubular frame. Instead of evolving last year’s car, we designed every assembly to fit a unified vision from the start. From packaging to suspension, each choice serves the overall concept. The result is not just progress, it’s a breakthrough. We’re proud to present our boldest car yet: Tremola.
Engineering Design Priorities:
Aerodynamics
Vehicle dynamics
Ergonomics
Data gathering
Manufacturing quality
Cooling overhaul

This season we have the opportunity to build on last year's reliable and fast car. Our core concept remains the same: a four-wheel-drive wheel-hub powertrain with a steel-frame tubular chassis. With a strong base, we can now focus on improving performance. Our efforts include reducing weight, optimising vehicle dynamics, improving ergonomics and rigorous testing. We've also introduced a traction control system to further enhance the car's capabilities. We proudly present Sajetta, our 2024 car.
