Formula Student is a student engineering competition held annually in the UK. Student teams from around the world design, build, test, and race a small-scale formula style racing car. The cars are judged on a number of criteria as listed below. It is run by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and uses the same rules as the original Formula SAE with supplementary regulations.
The 2015 Formula Student event was held at Silverstone Circuit between the 9 and 12 July 2015.
The current holder of the overall trophy is TU Delft and the top team from the UK is Team Bath Racing from the University of Bath
In 2014 Beth Georgiou took over as Formula Student Project Leader and Tasneem Rahman took over as Formula Student Executive Assistant. Ambassadors of Formula Student include David Brabham, Paddy Lowe, Willem Toet, Leena Gade, Dallas Campbell, Mike Gascoyne, and James Allison.
There are two entry classes in Formula Student, designed to allow progressive learning.

And on we go
Chasing all the way but we’re not lost
And on we go
Chasing all the way but we’re not lost
And we ain’t got time for us
Analyzed and sanitized, alone here I search for rescue
Paralyzed, anesthetized, wake up, face it, break it, rush from solitude
And on we go
Slipped away with swords and lost our name
And on we go
Slipped away with swords and lost our name
