The event is expected to host a record 94 engineering teams from approximately 24 countries, involving more than 2,500 participants. Competitors will participate in several disciplines, including Acceleration, Skid Pad, Autocross, and Endurance. Technical highlights include the use of electric powertrains, advanced aerodynamics, and lightweight construction. A notable addition to the 2026 program is the ‘Driverless Challenge’, which allows students to demonstrate autonomous vehicle systems. As the competition begins, local Croatian teams are prominently represented. The Split-based FESB Racing Team is transitioning from internal combustion engines to its first electric vehicle, while the Rijeka-based Riteh Racing Team is participating as an alumni team with an 80 kW electric single-seater weighing approximately 230 kilograms. The event also highlights a growing trend of female participation in motorsport, with increasing numbers of women involved in vehicle development, aerodynamics, and team organization. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-19: Formula Student Alpe Adria competition held in Croatia Ninety student teams are competing in the Formula Student Alpe Adria at the Bugatti Rimac Test Track in Croatia, showcasing advanced automotive engineering and electric vehicle technology. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/formula-student-alpe-adria-competition-held-in-croatia ### 2026-08-17: Formula Student Alpe Adria 2026 to host 94 engineering teams in Croatia The Formula Student Alpe Adria 2026 competition will host 94 engineering teams from 24 countries at the Bugatti Rimac track in Croatia, featuring autonomous vehicle challenges and electric racing. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/formula-student-alpe-adria-2026-to-host-94-engineering-teams-in-croatia ### 2026-07-31: Record 94 teams to compete at Formula Student Alpe Adria 2026 in Croatia The Formula Student Alpe Adria 2026 competition in Mičevac, Croatia, will run Aug 18‑23 with a record 94 teams from 20+ countries, featuring high‑speed student‑built race cars. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/record-94-teams-to-compete-at-formula-student-alpe-adria-2026-in-croatia --- Cite as: Formula Student Alpe Adria 2026 competition.
