A group of around 20 MCAST Mechanical Engineering students this month officially launched their team and the prototype open-wheel formula SAE race car designed and built from scratch by the members themselves.

The team, Skuderija Dinamika, is multidisciplinary and aims to design and build a single-seater race car for a world-wide professional engineering competition organised by SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) International. In September 2016, the  students will be joining several other groups from different colleges and universities around the globe to professionally present and race their car in Parma.

The team has estimated the two-year project costs to reach €40,000 and the team is reaching out to industrial collaborators, organisations and business entities for support (financial and/or goods/services in kind) such that the students can successfully reach their academic, professional and vocational objectives. 

The team thanks its sponsors: MCAST, Ministry for Education and Employment, MCAST Gateway to Industry, Transport Malta, Coleiro Supplies Limited and MelitaMarine.
