Team Description

ESTACARS is a student automotive design project based at ESTACA on the Laval campus.

Founded in 2011, the project is integrated into the educational framework offered by the school. Its primary goal is to design and build an innovative and high-performance electric single-seater vehicle to compete in the Formula Student competition. This global student competition challenges teams to design their vehicles under strict regulatory guidelines.

The ESTACARS team consists of 33 engineering students from first to fifth years of study, divided into two technical divisions:

Mechanical Division : Focused on vehicle architecture and dynamics. Responsibilities include designing solutions for optimal track performance, as well as developing the chassis, cockpit, suspension, bodywork, and integrating these components into the vehicle.

Energy and Embedded Systems Division : Handles the powertrain and energy management systems. This division is also responsible for low-voltage electrical systems that ensure safety and functionality in a Formula Student car.

ESTACARS operates under the aegis of ESTACA (École Supérieure des Techniques Aéronautiques et de Construction Automobile), a member of the ISAE Group. The school specializes in transport and mobility engineering, with campuses in Paris-Saclay, Bordeaux, and Laval. A distinctive feature of ESTACA is the emphasis on extracurricular projects and association involvement, providing students with a broad range of technical and practical skills.
