OUR TEAM
Our team is entirely run by students of the Politecnico di Torino, who design, manufacture, test and compete with formula style race cars in the Formula SAE competitions.
Our team consists of around 40 students from different faculites that work together "learning by doing", preparing to face the working environment immediately after the graduation.

SQUADRA CORSE TIMELINE
2004
Squadra Corse PoliTo was established in 2004 when some of the more enterprising students enrolled in the first cycle of the study course in Automotive Engineering decided to participate in the competition between universities organized by the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers).
2008
The first prototypes participated in the Formula Student in the combustion category, relying on a tubular steel frame and a Honda CBR 600cc engine.
2010
In 2010, the racing team pioneered the hybrid category and became world champion, repeating itself the following year.
2012
2012 is the year of the "revolution": the racing team is still a pioneer moving to the electric category, immediately obtaining excellent results both in the Italian and international stages.
2017
In 2017, after a few difficult years, the team raises its head and returns to conquer a podium, thanks to the solidity of the know-how on the electric powertrain, which is still carried out today.
2019
The SC19 prototype wins in the electric category on the Italian stage, consolidating its position in the top 30 in the world ranking of the category.
