Info
The Valais Wallis Racing Team presents its 3rd car this year. The last two years have been fruitful for such a young team, and we've been able to run the car in every competition. This year, we've applied what we've learned from our beginnings, to build Alpinea, a reliable car, to give our team the strongest foundation for the future. The team has grown and the challenges have changed, the main objective is to make a perennial team that will ensure we have a more impressive car every year!

Info
The Valais-Wallis Racing Team took part in their first ever season of Formula Student last year. The team arrived to competitions with a car which only purpose was to drive in order to gain as much experience as possible. The goal was to try and manage to finish one race. This year, we have built our second car, Bella Lui, and tried to improve it everywhere we could. Our team has grown a lot since its creation and has worked very hard to be ready to take on new challenges this season.
Engineering Design Priorities:
VCU & telemetry
Powertrain motor
Vehicle dynamics
Wheel assembly
Test Bench
Learning by doing
