Formula Student Team UTM

Day 3 | Formula Student Balkans 2026 🏁

We completed the scrutineering process, went through the final inspections, weighed our car, and received valuable feedback from the judges. Every inspection, every conversation, and every recommendation gave us a better understanding of what still needs to be improved.

Our car is not finished yet, so we won’t be taking part in the dynamic events this year. While that’s not the result we were aiming for, this journey has always been about much more than competing. It’s about learning, improving, and pushing ourselves further with every challenge.

Before leaving the scrutineering area, we also had the chance to capture a few photos of our car on the track—a moment we’ll never forget. 📸🏎️

A huge thank you to our sponsors

Day 1️⃣ | Formula Student Balkans 2026

The first official day of the competition was entirely dedicated to the static events. From the very beginning, our schedule was fully packed, with each discipline taking place one after another.
For the first time, our team took part in the ⚙️Engineering Design Event
📑Cost & Manufacturing Event
📈Business Plan Presentation.

It was an intense day filled with valuable discussions, constructive feedback, and plenty of learning opportunities.

Since our race car is still under development and not yet fully operational, we couldn’t complete some of the evaluations to their full extent. Even so, every event provided us with valuable experience and clear direction for the improvements we need to make.
We also began the scrutineering process, taking another important step toward getting our car on track.
Every challenge is another opportunity to learn, improve, and move one step closer to our goal.
Racing for Knowledge. 🏎️❤️

Great thanks to our sponsors for your support 🤝

Day 0️⃣ | Formula Student Balkans 2026

Officially, this was Day 0 of the competition—the day when teams arrive, complete registration, set up their pit and camping area, get familiar with the venue, and prepare for the week ahead.
Since we arrived a little earlier, we had two extra days before the official start. That gave us enough time to settle in, prepare our race car and soak in the atmosphere before the competition began.
Today we completed registration, welcomed teams from across Europe, and took another step toward our very first international Formula Student competition.
A special thank you to Outdoor Center "X-Style" for supporting our team by providing everything we needed for our camping setup. Your support helps us stay focused on what matters most throughout the competition. ❤️
The next day the real challenge begins: scrutineering, static events, and our first Formula Student Balkans experience.
Racing for Knowledge. 🏎️🔥
