2021
Info
BME Formula Racing Team was founded in 2007 by students of TU Budapest as the first Formula Student team of Hungary. In 2020 we built a new EV car. Managed to achieve 500 test km during the autumn. For 2021 we decided to use this relatively stable and robust car as a base for our new DV car. At FSG 2021 we are competing in driverless category, with a single goal: finishing every driverless dynamic event.
Engineering Design Priorities:
Be Beautiful
Functional
Custom CNN architecture

2019
Info
BME Formula Racing Team was founded in 2007 by students of TU Budapest as the first Formula Student team of Hungary. Besides the EV car last year we made our first DV vehicle. In 2019 we are building only one car, which will be able to perform both in EV and DV category. We could accomplish this by designing a quickly mountable & dismountable driverless package. At FSG 2019 we are competing in driverless category, with a single goal: finishing every event with a learning algorithm.
Engineering Design Priorities:

2018
Info
The BME Formula Racing Team was founded in 2007 as the first Formula Student team of Hungary by students of TU Budapest. Since 2011 we are building electric cars, but this year, besides building a new electric car, we have also taught our last year`s little girl, Honey Rider to navigate between cones on her own. So this year we are competing in driverless category, with a single goal: successfully finish every dynamic event on FSG.
Engineering Design Priorities:
