Pi-EV (FSEV Concept Challenge) will be discontinued.
Pi-EV 2024 was the 8th season of Pi-EV, formerly known as the FSEV Concept Challenge. The event began in 2018 and over these 8 seasons, it has seen an overall participation of 150 teams. The event has helped and provided feedback to plan & conceptualize all these teams vehicles, preparing them for full-fledged Formula Student competitions.
However, as all good things must come to an end, so the organizing team has decided that this will be the last season for Pi-EV. The event will be discontinued due to the evolving focus in the Formula Student landscape, the need to redirect our resources towards new and practical initiatives, and our commitment to adapting to the changing educational and industry demands.
With this, I would like to thank each and every one of you for being a part of Pi-EV's journey. Your participation, enthusiasm, and hard work have made these past eight seasons truly memorable.
