The FSB Racing Team project is one of the biggest student projects in Croatia. It has 117 members from various faculties of Zagreb University and so far it has built nine racing cars and has successfully competed at international Formula Student races, the association’s leader and project head, Mislav Bošnjak, explained.
The students said that they had built the first electric racing car in Croatia and in the region, and were now transforming it into an autonomous vehicle so they can be the first Formula Student team in Croatia to build a self-driving racing car.
The students said that their mission was systematic transfer of the know-how which they consider to be the most valuable part of their project.
The project is mostly financed with donations and sponsorships while the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture has supported the team from the very start. Their sponsors also include the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing as well as more than 80 companies from Croatia and abroad which have recognised the potential of the project.
President Milanović expressed his full support for the project, telling the delegation that what they were doing was important and that they should always compare themselves and compete with the best.
