Jon Hilton
Head Judge
"Formula Student is a fantastic challenge. It teaches students all about engineering in the real world, about teamwork, organisation and management as well as detailed engineering skills. Teamwork is the secret of success in Formula Student and building a career in engineering." |

Andrew Deakin
Head Technical Judge
"Formula Student is the best educational engineering challenge. Assessment of the car at the competition enables them to fully understand the strengths and weaknesses of their creation. This is excellent preparation for working in the industry." |

Alan Caddy
Head Cost Judge
"Formula Student is a great leveller, we can all learn something new. I am amazed at the camaraderie of the students - if one team cannot repair a part, there is always help at hand from someone in another team." |

Neill Anderson
Head Design Judge
"Formula Student is crucial to engineering undergraduates as it offers real world experience. Paperwork, planning, deadlines, teamwork, financial understanding and marketing awareness are all tested alongside the challenging dynamic events." |
Richard Brown
Head Presentation Judge
"Having competed myself, I believe that entering Formula Student is the most important decision that an undergraduate can make for their future. There is a big difference between getting a good grade on paper at college and delivering a working car to Silverstone on cost, on target and on time, which you have enough confidence to drive to the limit! FS competitors get a real head start in their first years at industry and hence a real edge when it comes to getting that dream job!"
