The midfield was absolute chaos - only 16 points separated 4th through 12th place! 🤯 Championship Outlook: The Top 3 are starting to break away, but don't count anyone out yet. Mathematically, the entire Top 9 are still within one race victory of the championship lead!

Sim Racing update from Assen 🇳🇱🏁We haven't been back since Season 2021, and Round 5 absolutely delivered! For the first time EVER, we have joint round winners! 🏆🏆 P1: @TeamSURTES & @QueenMaryFS (Locked at 112 points!) P3: @FS_Team_Delft (Keeping that podium streak alive!)

I have learnt today that there are 78 pandas in my room currently... Should we make it an even 100? 🐼👀

Impact Attenuator Data report update: there has been a technical issue with this report and therefore we will be releasing this next week. The deadline has been extended to the 13th May, so some extra time to complete your report. Key dates docs have been updated!

Chris McDonald MP: "I am proud to back initiatives like #FormulaStudent AI: it is helping students develop the interdisciplinary skills industry needs...with the right investment in skills, there will be no problem attracting new people to come and work in this industry."

Last month we were delighted to contribute to the CAM Innovators Day, organised by the Advanced Propulsion Centre and Zenzic, with representatives from both Government and Industry discussing the Connected Autonomous Mobility sector, which #FormulaStudent AI contributes to.

A quick reminder that applications are open to #formulastudent teams for the @RacingPrideHQ Diversity and Inclusion award, with an amazing tour at Aston Martin's HQ for the winners. Full details and how to apply here: bit.ly/4tK8i08

We apologise for any inconvenience or confusion this has caused. If you have any doubts or queries, please raise a rules question on the FSQD.

Where there is a conflict between the original “FS 2026 Rules V1” published around L2W last year, and the “FS2026 Rules V1.1 Supplementary” published in late February this year, we will accept cars designed and built to either ruleset.

It has been brought to our attention that our move back to a supplementary rules model has caused some unintended consequences with a number of team’s designs.
