WHO WE ARE:
We are the Official Racing Team of the Alma Mater Studiorum – University of Bologna,
divided into three main projects:
- – One combustion car, named Ultimae LM
- – One electric car, named Athena
- – One electric motorbike, named Nemesi
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 2018, have started participating in MotoStudent events. These events enable us to compete across 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.
