Team Description

We are ARUS Andalucia Racing Team, from the University of Seville. Started back in 2012 as the first team on the south of Spain, we have been participating since 2014. eight combustion and six electric cars manufactured.

This our third year as DV and have just made a great leap in technology, changing to monocoque and 4WD in a single season.

Never give up and always cheer our car in the best and the worst moments are the values that describe this team as one of the best family in Formula Student. And if you don't believe it just listen to us in when the ART goes to the track!!

Car #218 ART-26D

Info

ARUS, the first Formula Student team from Andalucía, southern Spain, was founded in 2012, manufacturing 8 combustion and 8 electric cars. The team has the long-term vision of obtaining overall wins in both the EV and DV categories. Following the first generation of a four-wheel-drive monocoque, the ART-26D was developed as an evolution of that model, with the aim of maximising the performance of this car concept. After completing our 1st FSG DV event, we can’t wait to see it race again.

Since its founding in 2012, being the first team from Andalusia, in southern Spain, ARUS has manufactured 8 combustion and 4 electric cars. After huge efforts and sacrifice, our ART-E achieved passing scrutineering and finishing endurance for the first time last summer. This year we have focused on the extraction of performance always bearing in mind reliability, and always keeping that spirit and that joy that makes us be remembered by everyone who happens to share a moment with us. FORZA ARUS!

ARUS in 2018, decided to face the great challenge of also designing an electric vehicle. Every minor step was a huge success and required tremendous sacrifice but, despite all that progress, scrutineering proved to be too much for our car the first two seasons. The pandemic has given us extra time to keep working and now truly aim to compete in dynamic events, while also fighting for static event trophies.

ARUS-e joins the Formula Student Germany for the first time. As a counterpart to ARUS Andalucía Racing, the ART19-e is our second electric car, following the basis of the first prototype, made in 2018. Regarding all the mechanical knowledge and experience earned thanks to his combustion brother, this single seated car is ready to make a memorable first appearance in Formula Student Germany. We are not here only for taking part, we are here to break our limits.
