Formula Student FEUP was founded in 2021 and competed internationally in the FS class for the first time in 2023 with an EV prototype. Since then, it has designed and manufactured an innovative EV with autonomous-driving capabilities, hoping to raise the bar once again! The team of around 75 members based at the University of Porto targets a successful 2025 summer campaign, competing in the FS Netherlands, FS Portugal and FS Germany competitions.

FS FEUP was created in July 2021 with the clear objective of a 2-year beginning project. In the first year, the Team aimed to compete in Concept Class to gain FS knowledge and to validate the prototype design, and in the second year, compete with a working prototype in Class 1. Last year the Team competed in FS UK and FSAE Italy in Concept Class which enabled a strong preparation for the manufacturing process. This year the team will compete in FS UK, FS PT and FSG with our first ever EV.
