Vermilion Racing is a project created by students in 2018, supported by sponsors and DTU (Technical University of Denmark). The project challenges students to create and produce a electric Formula Student vehicle. The aim of the project is to engineer and design the best overall vehicle, to compete against other teams from across the globe.

Vermilion Racing competes in the British formula student competition FSUK, which takes place on the legendary racetrack Silverstone. Here more than 100 Universities compete with their vehicles in both static and dynamic events.

Our story starts in 2018, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the team experienced difficulty and came to a halt. As a result the project was resurrected in 2021 with a completely new team of students. Working on the project each student has the opportunity to develop unique skills within the engineering field while gaining an insight into the management discipline.

We aim to become one of the best teams on the grid, and this is your opportunity to help us achieve this goal. We look forward to having you joining us on our journey.

IMechE Formula Student (FS) is Europe’s most established educational engineering competition tasking teams to design, build and race a single-seater race car.

Backed by industry and high-profile engineers such as Ross Brawn OBE, the competition aims to develop enterprising and innovative young engineers and encourage more young people to take up a career in engineering, with over 100 university teams taking part every year. 

The project usually forms part of a degree-level project and is viewed by the motorsport industry as the standard for engineering graduates to meet, transitioning them from university to the workplace. It is a kite-mark for real-world engineering experience, combining practical engineering experience with soft skills including business planning and project management.
