BGRacing is the Formula Student team from Ben Gurion University of the Negev with 60 volunteering students from various faculties. The team participates within the FSAE Organization which is organized by the SAE and is open to engineering students from around the world, presenting their design and construction of a prototype race car.
The BGR team was founded in 2006. Since then, the team built 9 different race cars according to each competition rulebook, of which 3 of them are with an electric powertrain. In the 2015 FSAE competition, the team finished in 8th place, the highest achievement of any Israeli team so far!
In that same year, we developed our first electric car and since then the group has focused on electric vehicles, aiming to reach autonomous control in the near future.
In August 2022, the BGRacing team made history by being the first Israeli team to participate in the prestigious Formula Student Germany FSG2022 competition in the Grand Prix Formula One track in Hockenheim and in the Rimac Group Formula Student Alpe Adria FSAA2022 competition in Croatia. Our electric race car - designed and built by the BGRacing team - completed both competitions.
