The Team's project was launched at the end of 2008 by the students Széchenyi István University. Two Department of Audi Hungaria contributed to the launch: the Department of Internal Combustion Engines and the Engine Development Department. The SZEngine Engine Development Team is closely associated with a special and unique racing series. Formula Student is a worldwide racing series where university teams design and build a single-seater racing car to perform on various static and dynamic race events. The teams can choose between electric or internal combustion sources. The entire car must be designed accordingly based on their choice. The major disadvantage of the internal combustion engines available on the market is the unsuitability for the competition regulations so they become usable only after making significant modification. However, our team develops a special and innovative engine optimized especially for the strict rules of the racing series. That’s the reason of our connection to the Formula Student in a unique way. The focus of the team’s developments is the single-cylinder internal combustion engine concept, because this design has the best power-to-weight ratio and the most favorable fuel consuption.

Since the formation of the team, our department has been one of the main supporters of student work and provides an opportunity to provide all technical assistance for the success of the team. For us, it is important to nurture student talent management and the engineers of the future.
