Abstract
Every year, we regularly participate in Student Formula Japan as a practical education system for manufacturing and human resource development. Student Formula Japan is a student design competition which is one of the Formula SAE series organized by SAE International. The competition consists of Static and Dynamic Events. In Static Events the car is judged based on the design and fabrication. Dynamic events include the skid-pad, acceleration, autocross, endurance and fuel efficiency events, where the car is driven by the students themselves. The activity of Utsunomiya University Formula Designers, the formula team in our school, offers a highly practical field and opportunities to students where the students can acquire various knowledge and skills of mechanical engineering, and develop their social maturity through communications with supporting companies and local communities. One of the most important issues of the team is to train drivers in an efficient way.
