Menofia Racing Team

The team competes in Formula student competition & EVER Egypt competition. Team uses their knowledge, education and innovation to design and build the best possible Formula student car and to come up with innovative solutions to solve design,manufacturing and managerial problems. The Team is divided into the following sections:

A) Technical Team: whose goal is to solve the technical design and ma

nufacturing problems faced in each sector within the car and of which will have a significant impact on the car's performance and capabilities. Technical team is divided into sub teams:

1- Engine and drive line team.
2- Suspension and steering team.
3- Brakes team.
4- Frame and aerodynamics team. B) Managerial Team: whose goal is to make sure that this project becomes a reality. The team is responsible for vital tasks such as project management, fund raising, sponsors coordination, manufacturing and workshop allocation. Members within the team will learn how to be in control of such an important project and will get a real life experience on how to solve managerial problems which face companies and organizations on daily basis. Managerial Team is divided into sub teams:

1- Marketing & Public relations.
2- Fund raising.
3- Human Resources. General Information

It provides the students with a real-life exercise in design and manufacture and the business elements of automotive engineering. It teaches them all about team working, under pressure and to tight timescales. It demands total commitment, lots of late nights, and many frustrations and challenges along the way, but the net result is the development of highly talented young engineers. For the purpose of the competition, the students are to assume that a manufacturing firm has engaged them to produce a prototype car for evaluation. The intended sales market is the non professional weekend autocross or sprint racer. Therefore, the car must have very high performance in terms of its acceleration, braking, and handling qualities. The car must be low in cost, easy to maintain, and reliable. In addition, the car's marketability is enhanced by other factors such as aesthetics, comfort and use of common parts. The challenge to the team is to design and fabricate a prototype car that best meets these objectives. Each design is compared and judged with other competing designs to determine the best overall car. Young engineering students and graduates are exposed to marketing, time management, project management, team building, budgeting, presentation skills, and other management issues. Through Formula Student, they develop experience, skills and professionalism as “hands on” engineers, with a keen awareness of the often competing pressures of performance, cost, safety, reliability and regulatory compliance. The benefit to students is immense and is good experience for newly qualified engineers preparing to enter a career in Motorsport, the automotive industry or many other areas of high performance engineering.
