UCD Formula Student is Ireland's first electric Formula Student team. Our members hail from all year groups and a range of disciplines such as engineering, science, humanities, and business, from University College Dublin. With a focus on education, technology, and diversity and inclusion, we want to bring sustainable electric vehicles to everybody.
UCD Formula Student is Ireland's first electric Formula Student team. We first competed in Formula Student UK in 2019, achieving 8th place in the Electric Vehicle Category in our rookie year. In 2022 we returned to FSUK for the first time since the pandemic. Now, in our fifth year, we aim to build on last year's success - including our runner's up finish in the business plan presentation.
Our team is divided into the mechanical, powertrain and operations team, each putting in hard work to ensure success for UCDFS at the 2024 Formula Student UK competition.
Formula Student is Europe’s most established student engineering competition with over 100 teams from more than 30 countries taking part. The goal of the competition is to design, construct and race a car built from scratch.

UCD Formula Student uses the three pillars of sustainability, technology, and diversity & inclusion in everything we do - we would like to promote a more sustainable future for motorsport, while utilising new technologies and promoting inclusivity.
