It is possible to touch motorsport with your own hands without financial costs and parental support. You can start with any level of training and knowledge about the car. The main criterion is the desire to learn new things, gain practical skills, and work in real projects. Students, studying in the laboratory in their free time, can gain knowledge and skills in creating racing cars, preparing them for competitions, learning computer modelling, metal processing, working with composite materials, etc., take part in car training or competitions as a mechanic or a pilot.
Training is conducted individually; students work on practical tasks and get involved in current projects. The attractiveness of this educational approach is that any student can participate in the entire cycle of creating a product from the emergence of a need to the realization «in metal» and implementation.
In modern Ukraine, the staff of the Racing Cars Laboratory (RCL) of the KharkivAutomobile and Highway Institute (KhAHI) is well-known for its participation in thenational championships in closed-circuit races. From 1992 to 2008, the LSA KHADIteam (RLC KhAHI) was a regular participant in the national championship, and from1996 to 2006 was a regular prize-winner, being a three-time champion. Bothexperienced athletes showing stable results and yesterday LSA students were theteam’s pilots for these years. The team of mechanics consisted mainly of students.The training of beginners took place under real conditions of training andcompetition. For the last decade, the team has concentrated on creating new chassisfor cars taking part in closed-circuit races. The accumulated experience wasimplemented in such cars as “KhADI 31”, “KhADI 33”, “KhADI 35”. Theyparticipate in competitions from time to time. There are more and more opportunitiesfor mechanical engineering students to take part in practice races. As a rule, everystudent involved in the work of the laboratory has a chance to try himself both as amechanic and as a pilot during practice races.
And you can be this student! The mainthing is your desire to study and work!
The laboratory management is open to new ideas. If a student can gather a workinggroup, draw and explain what the idea is and how it can be achieved, then there is ahigh probability that he will be supported. But if you suggest, do it yourself! Such away of working led to participation in international fuel-saving competitions. From2010 to 2016, a team of students participated in the world student competition “Shelleco marathon”. The eco-car “KhADI 34” was created especially for taking part in thecompetition. It is registered in the Ukrainian Book of Records as the most energy-efficient car in the country for its ability to overcome 570 km using only one litre offuel.The project was successfully implemented at the expense of financial partnersattracted by the team members themselves. Students did not contribute anything otherthan their own time to the project. During business trips abroad, they were fullyfinancially supported. “KhADI 34” started on the tracks of Germany, Holland,England.Student international engineering competitions focus on more than just fuel-savingissues. The laboratory staff will be happy to discuss students’ initiatives to participatein various international competitions aimed at creating new engineering projects. Andyou can participate in such competition! The main thing is to believe in yourself andyour goals.
