Future of DV category at FS East

Oct/21 By

As the season of 2021 is getting to its end and we know that many of you are already thinking about the season of 2022.

For this preparation we would like to provide you some information – especially regarding the Driverless category. Let’s start with the most burning question:

based on a lot of discussions and feedback rounds we decided to have separate EV, CV and DV categories for the event of 2022.

This means that we do not plan to merge the driverless category with the base car category in the next racing season. Also, we would like to make our event flexible in the sense that we would like to provide opportunity for those teams who decide that they would like to participate in two categories (e.g. DV and EV) with the same car as well. We are convinced that with this solution we are able to provide you the best race experience amongst our possibilities.

Have a great preparation for 2022 and see you at the competition!

FS East future

Dec/10 By

Dear Teams!

A few weeks ago, Formula Student Germany, by many regarded as the leading FS event in Europe, announced their road map for next few years. They took a bold step in concentrating on what they think is will be the most interesting challenge: EVs with autonomous driving features. In summary, there were two main points:

  • autonomous driving as part of all competition classes
  • phasing out of the combustion class, resulting in an all-EV competition by 2022

Many teams were then concerned about the future of certain vehicle classes as well as compatibility between events.
No Worries. The European events are working together to make sure that there will be no fragmentation and to cover the demand for CV event slots.

  • CV continues to exist as a competition class for now (including 2022)
  • CV will remain part of the FS Rules, curated by FSA and the other events offering this class
  • All cars compliant to the FS 2021/2022 Rules will be eligible to compete at FSEast

Now to expand on this a bit:
