Students from Riga Technical University (RTU) are spending the final weeks of summer competing in a student formula championship, racing a sports car they designed and built themselves. The event brings together university teams from around the world.

This marks the third consecutive year that RTU's team has entered the competition, reflecting a sustained commitment to this technical challenge. The student formula championship gives young engineers a chance to demonstrate their skills in designing and constructing a car, with the competition reportedly drawing attention from leading car manufacturers.

Such championships are traditionally seen as an important platform encouraging students toward technical creativity, allowing them to apply theoretical knowledge in practice by building a real, functioning vehicle.
