Formula Student East - Market Share Analysis for August 2026

Formula Student East 2022 is organised at Hungaroring, home of the Hungarian Formula-1 Grand Prix events, between 8th and 12th of August. Teams consisting of university students compete in static and dynamic events with race cars designed and built entirely by them. Since 2018, FS East opens three categories for combustion, electric and driverless teams with separate endurance events and scoring. From 2020 teams are able to compete with the same car in multiple categories. The competition has constantly expanded through the years, 44 teams participated in the 2016 competition, while in 2022 the organisers opened 84 slots for teams from all over the world. From 2016 Association of Automotive Engineers (previously known as Engineers for the Automotive Higher Education Association) organises Formula Student East as an FSAE style engineering competition representing the Eastern European automotive region. The Association is dedicated to focus on the educational function of the event as its mission is to help today’s student generations become the outstanding professionals of tomorrow since it has been established in 2010. The competition also provides the chance for FS teams from the Eastern European region to compete in an international environment by offering half of the slots for them, the other half for teams from all over the world. 2016 After a successful opening season in 2016, FS East has been listed as a World Ranking List Event for the first time in the history of Formula Student competitions. 2017 Top teams of the World Ranking List have registered to the 2017 event, therefore such a tough field competed at FS East that has been unprecedented in Hungary before.
