Team Primus from AUST-Bangladesh will Compete in FS UK 2019


Formula Student UK, one of the best names in the competition in the world's automotive sector. It is the Europe's most established educational engineering competition. More than three thousand students of the University from around the world take part in the 'One Sitter Racing Car' competition. The 21st edition of this competition is going to be held in July, 2019.

Each year, Formula Student sees over 100 university teams from around the globe travel to Silverstone to compete in static and dynamic events that will test their preparation and hard work: who will be crowned the winner of Formula Student 2019?



Three racing car competitions are renowned all over the world. Among them, the 'Formula Student UK' competition under the Society of Automobile Engineers-SA is the topmost. They are participating in Bangladesh for the first time. Besides, the 'Cell Eco-Marathon' and 'Bridgestone World Solar Challenge' competition are well-known.

For the first time, 'Team Primes’ a group of Bangladeshi students are going to take part in this competition in the artistic engineering competition. The 31-member group of Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology (AUST) will visit “Silverstone Circuit” ground at Northamptonshire from 17th to 21st of July in Britain. All members of 'Team Primes' are desperate to take victory. Besides, these young people are waiting for the opportunity of acquiring knowledge.

The journey of Team Primus to fulfill the dream was not easy. All the members worked really hard. The first thing was need of a '600-710 cc engine. But at present the maximum import approval from the government is only '165 cc' in Bangladesh. In this situation, the request was made by the team to import the desired engine to the government. It took a lot of time to get the permit to buy the engine.


The inconvenience of the raw materials to build the body of the racing car was the second challenge. The required raw materials were brought from India to build the whole racing car as per their design and calculation.

Team Primus said that it was a long-standing dream of presenting Bangladesh in Formula Student UK competition. Initially 21 students of the Mechanical Engineering Department, 5 of the Department of Industrial and Production Engineering, 3 of the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering and two teachers together formed the team.

Team Primus got the opportunity with Business Logic Case - BLC. Through the BLC they informed about the cost of production of their cars, subscribers, numbers of products produced annually and the possibility of marketing. Later in the final competition through submission of few more reports, they are participating as the first and only team from Bangladesh.

Team Primus is in the 2019 CLASS 1 CONFIRMED LIST. In Class-1 category there are total 86 final participants and in Class-2 there are total 37 participants. The TEAM PRIMUS will compete with some best teams coming from top class universities around the world. See the below screenshot (Click on the Images to enlarge).
