General description HARD

HARD is a multidisciplinary formula student team consisting of motivated students from a variety of different studies from the Hanze UAS and University of Groningen. As a team we try to build a race car which we can compete with at a formula student event. HARD has different teams, where the mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and driverless engineering teams fall under the engineering department and the marketing, event and acquisition teams fall under the communication department. All volunteers spend one or more years with the team in order to apply the theoretical knowledge they gathered in a practical environment.
