This is Omari&#8217;s third year participating in the project; he started out as a volunteer and driver, subsequently progressed to head of the engine crew, and since 2021, has served as the Technion\u2019s project lead. As a driver, he won first place driving on the figure-8 Skidpad circuit in the Czech Republic in the summer of 2019, just before the global COVID-19 outbreak. During that race, the Technion unveiled the lightest car in the history of the competition, which weighed in at just 132 kg of advanced technology, after \u201cTechnion Formula\u201d shed 120 kg in just three years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter two years in which we were prevented from participating in races in Europe because of the pandemic, we decided to bring the race to Israel,\u201d said Omari, \u201cand the three universities that will be competing in October \u2013 the Technion, Tel Aviv University, and Ben Gurion University \u2013 are fully on board. This is a unique, adrenaline-intensive motorsport event that combines engineering theory and technological applications. We believe it will have a direct impact on the vehicle industry in Israel and encourage investors and local firms to develop vehicles and other relevant products.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_46328\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46328\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.technion.ac.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-46328 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.technion.ac.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"The Formula cars from the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Tel Aviv University, and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-46328\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Formula cars from the Technion &#8211; Israel Institute of Technology, Tel Aviv University, and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The opening event in August 2021 was attended by experts from the Ministry of Transportation, who advised the teams on adapting the car to comply with licensing requirements in Israel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The race will take place October 20-October 21 at the MotorCity<\/strong><strong> &#8211; Motor Park Racing Circuit in Beersheba, Israel. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Formula Student<\/strong> is a series of international competitions in which university teams compete to design, manufacture, and race the best performing racecars.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_46329\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46329\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.technion.ac.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/3-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-46329 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.technion.ac.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/3-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"The student teams\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-46329\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The student teams<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year\u2019s Technion team is the largest ever.
