  • Chronicle of the Nova Racing Team of the University of Vilanova

    Nova Racing Team participated in the 2024 Formula Student season with its first vehicle: NOVA GLF.7. ISB contributed greatly to their manufacturing process by providing the team with bearings and ball joints. These components were mainly used for the car’s suspension system and some parts of the powertrain. ISB parts and support were key to the success of this project.
    Nova Racing Team started this season by participating in Formula SAE Italia in July.
    This competition was an opportunity to gain experience and learn from the judges’ feedback. Placing 17th overall, this competition was a great opportunity for the team to evaluate their work and prepare for the upcoming competitions.
    The team then left to participate in the FS Portugal in its first edition. Coming in fourth overall and missing the podium by just a few points, this event demonstrated that the team learned from previous experiences and showcased the talent of its members and the quality of the engineering and design of the NOVA GLF.71.

    In its first season, Nova Racing Team showed immense growth and progress not only in its performance but, more importantly, in its team members. Formula Student is and always will be the best experience that a student can have. Because it allows real-life scenarios that the student learns to deal with and real problems that must be overcome quickly. All things that make the future engineer better and more experienced.
    That is why all team members are grateful to be part of such an incredible project.
    For next season, Nova Racing Team plans to work harder than ever to achieve better results and offer its team members an even better experience.
