UniUD E-Racing Team represents the University of Udine in the international Formula Student competitions, a global challenge involving universities from around the world in the design, construction, and racing of electric single-seaters.
Our mission is to design an innovative, efficient, and competitive electric race car that complies with the regulations, while providing students with hands-on educational experience in the world of motorsport. Our vision is to contribute to sustainable mobility through advanced and cutting-edge engineering solutions.
Founded in 2021 by a group of students, the team now consists of 60 members divided into 9 departments: Aerodynamics, Vehicle Dynamics, Chassis, Powertrain, Electronics, Driverless, Marketing, Cost Report, and Business Plan. Each department integrates theoretical and practical skills, giving students the opportunity to apply what they learn during their academic journey in a real-world context.
Since our founding, we have achieved significant milestones. We have developed and brought to competition two electric race cars: Serena I, built in under two years, and Serena II, completely redesigned with a front aerodynamic appendage, significant weight reduction, and an upgraded electronic system.
Our track record includes participation in events in Italy, Spain, and Germany. In 2023, during the Italian competition, we won the Electronics Development Process Award, while in Spain, we were finalists in the Business Plan Presentation. In 2024, we returned to the Italian competition and took part in the prestigious Formula Student Germany, the most renowned event on the circuit, featuring over 80 of Europe’s most competitive university teams. In both Italy and Germany, we recorded significant improvements in our performance compared to the previous year, in both static and dynamic events.
Looking ahead, we aim to focus our efforts on designing our third race car, working to further enhance reliability and performance compared to previous models. We are committed to redesigning and lightening the drivetrain, developing a more accurate dynamic model of the vehicle, and completing the aerodynamic package with the addition of a rear wing. At the same time, we are designing a new single-seater equipped with a dual-motor electric powertrain, a new battery pack, and launching the Driverless project, which represents the future of autonomous mobility.
In 2025, we will once again take part in the Italian competition and, for the first time, compete in Formula Student East, one of the most prestigious events in the European landscape, held in Hungary.
