AGH Racing

What AGH Racing does

AGH Racing is a student Formula Student racing team affiliated with AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków, Poland, founded in 2012. It designs, builds, and races formula-style single-seater vehicles ("bolides") across three parallel propulsion platforms: internal combustion (CV), fully electric (EV) with high-voltage battery systems, and autonomous driverless — making it one of very few teams worldwide running all three architectures simultaneously and the first Polish student team to field both an electric and an autonomous bolid. The team is organized into 12+ technical sub-departments (Aerodynamics, Chassis & Composites, Electronics CV/EV, High Voltage, Powertrain, Suspension, Accumulator, Autonomous Systems, Driverless, and others) and competes internationally at FS Poland, FS Germany, FS France, FS Czech, FS Spain, FSAE Australasia, and FSAE Michigan.

The organization is non-commercial: it generates no product revenue and operates as an educational engineering project under AGH University, WIMIR (Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Robotics), and the Polish Ministry of Education and Science. Its "go-to-market" is competition-driven visibility at prestigious circuits including Hungaroring and Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, supported by a corporate sponsorship and partnership ecosystem of roughly 25 companies (Siemens, ANSYS, VALEO, ALTUM, MESCO, Husarion, NTN SNR, Schroth, KW Suspensions, ALTIUM, 3Dconnexion, CERATIZIT, and others) that provide software, components, and cash support in exchange for branding, talent access, and association with the program.

The team's value proposition is twofold: first, delivering hands-on motorsport engineering experience that bridges academic theory and industry practice for AGH students; second, advancing multi-platform racing technology — most notably by being the first Polish student team to field an electric bolid and an autonomous bolid. Performance evidence includes Overall and Design Engineering wins at FS France 2024, the Siemens Digital Twin Award at FS Germany 2025, Business Plan Presentation at FS Poland 2025, and a long track record of podiums dating back to FSAE Michigan 2018.
