Plascore IAD Special Award

Formula Student Portugal, in partnership with Plascore GmbH & Co. KG, proudly presents the IAD Special Award. This award acknowledges teams' commitment to safety and excellence in the detailed preparation of Impact Attenuator (IAD) documentation.

OVERVIEW

Plascore, a leader in honeycomb core manufacturing and cleanroom technologies, honors teams for their diligence in creating documents that ensure the safety of their racing cars during crash scenarios. This Special Award is for the team that exemplifies precision, innovation, and clarity in their IAD documentation.

ELIGIBILITY AND CRITERIA

  • Open to all Class 1 and Class 2 teams participating in FS Portugal.

  • Submissions are evaluated based on minimal errors, clarity and structure, website submission accuracy, and innovative design.

  • The evaluation process is hierarchical, starting from minimal errors to innovative design in case of a tie.

AWARDS

  • The winning team, chosen through the IAD Review Process, will be announced at the Formula Student Event in Portugal.

  • The prize for the winning team is €1,000.

  • The second and third placed teams each receive two standard Impact Attenuators.

SUBMISSION PROCESS

Ensure your IAD documentation is submitted via the FSG website as part of your regular competition documentation. Excellence in this area is now doubly rewarded: not only is it crucial for competition safety, but it also brings the chance for this prestigious acknowledgment.

We look forward to your innovative contributions that set new standards in safety and design. Good luck to all teams aiming for the Plascore IAD Special Award!​

2025 Hydrogen Concept 

Take the challenge and shows how can a Hydrogen Formula Car look in the near future!

Join us for the Hydrogen Concept Challenge 2025, where innovation meets performance in the exciting realm of hydrogen powertrains. This challenge is open to all Formula Student teams eager to showcase their engineering prowess by developing hydrogen-fueled vehicles. Whether you're designing a Hydrogen Combustion Vehicle (H2CV) or an Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV), this challenge is your platform to push the boundaries of automotive technology.

OVERVIEW

  • Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV): Develop a theoretical hydrogen fuel cell EV powertrain that outperforms traditional accumulator-only EVs. Gear up for the future with designs that excel in both dynamics and efficiency.

  • Hydrogen Combustion Vehicle (H2CV): Innovate with a theoretical hydrogen-fueled CV powertrain that surpasses the performance of conventional gasoline engines. This challenge leverages cutting-edge hydrogen combustion technologies within the Formula Student framework.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Teams must submit a detailed concept paper, complete with technical diagrams, performance analysis, and safety assessments.

Submit your documentation by July 17, 2025, via the official email: hydrogen@fs-world.org.

JUDGING AND EVALUATION

Submissions will be evaluated by hydrogen technology experts during key Formula Student events.
Teams will present their concepts in face-to-face sessions, engaging with judges to discuss their innovative approaches and technical insights.

For additional details, inquiries, or registration information, please reach out to us at hydrogen@fs-world.org.
