Successful Registration for Formula Student Germany

Last year, within eight seconds of opening registration, the 2009 Formula Student Germany (FSG)event was fully subscribed. This extraordinary feat required VDI, the German Formula Student organisers, to reconsider the entire registration procedure. VDI felt that the chance of successful registration for Formula Student Germany should reflect a team’s degree of preparation and knowledge of the event, rather than the speed of its internet connection and quantity of members registering. This has led to the creation of a quiz preceding the actual registration process. Only after answering all quiz questions correctly may a team proceed to register for FSG. Teams that do not pass the quiz on their first attempt are allowed to resubmit their corrected quiz form an indefinite number of times. However, the frequency of resubmission is limited to once every thirty seconds.


The quiz consisted of a number of questions which tested the team’s knowledge on the 2010 FSG and FSAE Rules. Brunel Racing was the first successfully registered team in German competition today with a quiz time of 1 minute 45 seconds. The team was the fastest registering team by over 30 seconds allowing Brunel Racing to once again be car number 43.
