Formula Student Spain 2026

Earlier this month we returned to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya for the first time since 2023 and competed in FSS. Despite some issues on the track, we managed to place 9th overall and 4th in the Driverless Category!

The week was a great opportunity for both sides of our team to come together and dial our vehicle in for our last competition of the season, FSG, the following week. Thank you to the FSS organizers for a great time!

GO GFR!

Rollouts: 2/2! 💥

On Thursday, GFR26 was unveiled on German soil at Friedrichshafen's very own Zeppelin Museum . This event marked the beginning of GFR's second half of the competition season as we eagerly look ahead to our Formula Student appearances in the coming weeks.

We are especially grateful to all who participated, as your endless support is what drives our team to succeed! And, thank you to Blaue Blume for catering for our event.

Next stop: Spain! 🇪🇸

At the start of the competition season, GFR had the opportunity to take part in Porsche Prejudging, where our car was presented and discussed in a professional environment.

Surrounded by passionate teams and experienced engineers, we were able to gain valuable insights and receive constructive feedback.

It was a great opportunity to exchange ideas, reflect on our work, and take important input with us for the next steps!

GFR, back-to-back champions of FSAE Michigan Electric and the first-ever overall winners of the driverless category!

We couldn't be prouder of this achievement and the incredible efforts of our team that made it possible. Countless kilometers of testing, precision through tech inspections, incredibly talented drivers, and a multidisciplinary team all came together to earn our place at #1. Through relentless passion and grit, GFR has defended our first overall title and ushered in a new era of autonomous competition at FSAE Michigan.

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported our team along the way. From the donors and sponsors who give us the power to innovate, the advisors and alumni who guide us, to the friends and family cheering us on -- thank you. This win is ours to share.

We look forward to our upcoming competitions, Formula Student Spain and Formula Student Germany. GFR26 is just getting started!

GO GFR!

Locking in for the remainder of the upcoming season… 🔒

A few weeks ago, our comp simulation gave students the chance to experience the procedures and environment of a real competition. Now that we’ve gotten to know each other better, we’re more prepared, connected, and ready for the rest of the season ahead. 👀
