WHO WE ARE:
The Racing Team of the Alma Mater Studiorum, University of Bologna
is divided into three main projects:
- – One combustion car, named Integrale636.
- – One electric car, named Elettra GN.
- – One electric motorbike, named Minerva GN.
We are entirely composed of more than 250 students from different faculties. Since 2009, we have taken part in various Formula SAE events, and since 2019 we have also started participating in MotoStudent events. These events are international competitions among universities from all over the world. We all work together as a real racing team in order to consistently achieve the best results.
Teamwork and know-how are the keys to our success.WORLD RANKING
