MAD Formula Team is the Formula Student team from Carlos III de Madrid University, in Leganés, Spain. Composed of 81 students, mostly from engineering disciplines, we base our approach to race car design on three core concepts: resource management, a clear design approach based on understanding first principles, and continuously learning from previous mistakes.

We are a group of students who have united our personal goals to make something special happen, together. In the process, we want to push ourselves to the limit and we want to self-improve and improve as a team. During the pandemic, we decided to rebrand our team changing our name, logo and, most importantly, our mindset. We are designing our new car considering the four values that determine what MAD Formula Team is: Original-practical thinking, dedication, organization, and love.

Formula UC3M started back in 2016 with its first prototype C3-R16. Each year the team tries to achieve its maximum. The first prototype includes a complete aero package, our second car was a completely new concept. Our goal is simple: get good results putting together all the resources, experience and passion. In order to achieve our goals the team is always trying to improve the designs, manufacturing process, statics events and performance. This C3-R19 put all these goals together in a car.
