Info

We are a proud first-year Formula Student team presenting our debut car, Nexus 1. Built on a philosophy of simplicity and reliability, Nexus 1 features a robust tubular spaceframe and an efficient single-motor EV powertrain. Instead of chasing complex aerodynamics or extreme weight reduction, we focused on manufacturability and ensuring a safe, functional baseline to pass scrutineering and complete all dynamic events. We are excited to learn, compete, and lay the foundation for future years!

Engineering Design Priorities:

Reliability Simplicity Manufacturability Scrutineering Compliance Driver Safety Cost-Efficiency
