Technion took first place in October at Israel’s Formula SAE race which took place at MotorCity racing track in Beersheba.
Israel’s Formula SAE student teams – unable to participate in international competitions for two years because of COVID-19 – have established their own Formula Race for students.
This year’s Technion team was the largest ever and they competed with students from Tel Aviv University, and Ben-Gurion University. Formula SAE is a series of international competitions in which university teams compete to design, manufacture, and race the best performing race cars.
“THIS IS A UNIQUE, ADRENALINE INTENSIVE MOTORSPORT EVENT THAT COMBINES ENGINEERING THEORY AND TECHNOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS. WE BELIEVE IT WILL HAVE A DIRECT IMPACT ON THE VEHICLE INDUSTRY IN ISRAEL AND ENCOURAGE INVESTORS AND LOCAL FIRMS TO DEVELOP VEHICLES AND OTHER RELEVANT PRODUCTS.
– Muans Omari, head of Technion Formula Team
Headed by Muans Omari, a Master’s student in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, the Technion team included over 60 students.
