Aerodynamics is one of the most critical aspects of any race car. It is responsible for generating the downforce needed to improve grip, accelerate faster, and navigate corners with confidence. At PRz Racing, we design and manufacture our aerodynamic components in-house using materials such as carbon fiber, aramid, and fiberglass. This approach gives us complete control over quality and precision.

The design process relies heavily on advanced computer simulations (using ANSYS software), allowing us to analyze airflow and implement necessary optimizations. This ensures our vehicles perform at their best on the track.

Chassis is the foundation of our race car, ensuring stability, durability, and safety for the entire vehicle. Our team focuses on designing, strength analysis, and manufacturing the chassis to meet the highest competition standards and withstand the rigorous demands of the racetrack.

Our latest race car, the PMT-06, is built entirely with a durable steel frame. While our previous designs featured a hybrid structure—combining a lightweight and robust monocoque front with a framed rear—in the PMT-07, we plan to return to a monocoque design. For the first time in our team’s history, the car will feature a fully self-supporting structure. This innovation will make our vehicle lighter and more efficient than ever before.

We also prioritize driver ergonomics, designing the car to perfectly suit our drivers, ensuring maximum comfort and safety. This allows them to focus entirely on driving, regardless of track conditions.

The Suspension Section is responsible for ensuring optimal grip between the tires and the track, as well as delivering predictable and precise vehicle behavior. This team also designs the entire vehicle's kinematics, allowing us to fine-tune the suspension characteristics to meet the specifications of our race car.

The goal of the Suspension Section is to achieve the perfect balance between driver comfort and on-track performance. Our suspension components are made from a variety of materials, including aluminum, chrome-molybdenum steel, and select parts crafted from carbon composites and titanium. This combination ensures a lightweight yet durable system that enhances performance and reliability on the track.

The Electronics Section of our Formula Student research group is a team of passionate innovators dedicated to designing and integrating advanced electronic systems in our race cars. Combining engineering expertise with a constant drive for innovation, we specialize in developing high-voltage batteries that ensure performance, safety, and compatibility with the unique requirements of our vehicles.

We also design and refine a proprietary Battery Management System (BMS) to optimize battery functionality and safety. Additionally, we create a custom low-voltage wiring harness to ensure reliable integration of all the vehicle's electronic components.

Our team continually improves safety systems to protect critical components from overloads and short circuits, while our onboard computer software ensures seamless operation of all systems. Through this comprehensive approach, we build innovative race cars ready to meet the challenges of the racetrack and set new benchmarks in automotive technology.

The IT Section is where a passion for technology meets practical skills to develop innovative solutions in the field of information technology.

One of our key achievements is the development of a telemetry system, involving low-level coding and long-distance data transmission from the race car. This system provides critical insights into vehicle performance during competitions.

Additionally, we are working on solutions for autonomous race cars, developing software and systems that enable vehicles to operate without driver input. This cutting-edge project demonstrates our commitment to the future of automotive technology.

Beyond innovation, the IT Section provides technical support to our team and other sections. Our expertise allows us to solve various IT-related challenges and ensure the team’s operations run smoothly.

The Manufacturing Section plays a crucial role during the design phase by supporting other sections with expertise in the manufacturability of designed components and preparing the necessary technical infrastructure for the production phase of the race cars.

The primary responsibility of this section is to develop the technological process for machining, 3D printing, welding, and finishing operations. This includes coordinating with a wide network of partner companies providing part fabrication services, as well as spending countless hours operating machinery to produce components using the available equipment.

Equally important is ensuring a steady supply of materials for semi-finished products and consumables, particularly those required for composite production.

In addition to production, team members are responsible for maintaining the technical condition of previous race cars built by the team.

Manufacturing is the backbone of our race car—it ensures that every element is meticulously crafted, durable, and ready to perform at the highest level.

The Marketing Section is responsible for building and promoting the brand of our team on a daily basis. All activities on our social media platforms are carefully crafted by this team, ensuring every detail of visual communication is polished to perfection. Their efforts aim to expand our fanbase and strengthen our network of partners and sponsors.

Marketing in our team goes far beyond posts on Instagram or Facebook. It includes organizing photoshoots, negotiating with partners, and countless hours of call center work. One of their key responsibilities is preparing the Business Plan Presentation, a crucial competition category at Formula Student events. They develop ideas and transform them into a tangible, professional business plan, which they proudly present to the judges.

The Marketing Section combines creativity, strategy, and professionalism to showcase our team and its achievements to the world.

The Finance Section is responsible for the effective management of the PRz Racing team’s budget. Its primary tasks include approving and processing purchase requests within the system, ensuring that necessary orders are carried out in alignment with the prepared financial plan. Once orders are completed, the section handles the documentation stage, which involves annotating invoices and submitting them for settlement.

Additionally, the Finance Section maintains a detailed record of all income and expenses, enabling real-time monitoring of the team’s financial status. Through meticulous oversight, this section ensures the team's operations are well-funded and financially sustainable.

Even the best teams would struggle to succeed without proper management. At PRz Racing, Project Managers play a vital role in ensuring deadlines are met and work is well-organized.

Each of our sections has its own Project Manager, who acts as a mentor and coordinator. Their responsibilities include organizing meetings, planning agendas, and ensuring every team member has clearly defined goals and tasks aligned with their capabilities.

By fostering effective communication and structure, Project Managers are instrumental in maintaining the team's focus and efficiency, driving the success of our projects.

Cost & Manufacturing is not only one of the competition categories in Formula Student but also a dedicated section within our team. This section is responsible for creating a detailed cost report for the race car, covering every component, manufacturing process, and associated expense. This comprehensive analysis provides us with a clear understanding of expenditures, enabling efficient budget management.

Preparing for this competition requires a thorough examination of all production stages of the race car—from material selection and manufacturing technologies to supplier evaluation. Every decision involves balancing costs, quality, and performance, ensuring an optimal approach to both engineering and financial efficiency.

Drivers are responsible for maximizing the performance of the race car on the track. They must be lightweight, agile, and in excellent physical condition. To maintain their fitness and enhance their skills, they train throughout the season on go-karts and the Assetto Corsa simulator. This rigorous preparation helps them refine their driving techniques and improve reaction times, ensuring they are ready to deliver peak performance during competitions.
