Formula Student East (hereafter FS East) is a FSAE style Formula Student engineering competition in
Hungary, organized by the Association of Automotive Engineers (AAME) since 2016.

Formula Student East 2023 will allow vehicles with conventional internal combustion engines
(gasoline or ethanol fuelled) and electric powertrain. Furthermore Formula Student East welcomes
the participation of driverless vehicles (both with internal combustion or electric powertrain). The
three categories will be evaluated separately:

◼ Internal Combustion Vehicles (hereafter CV)

◼ Electric Vehicles (hereafter EV)
◼ Driverless Vehicles (hereafter DV)

These specific rules are additions to the Formula Student Rules 2023 document (hereafter “FSG Rules
2023) published by Formula Student Germany (https://www.formulastudent.de/) and FS CV Hybrid
Rules Extension 2023 published by Formula Student East (https://fseast.eu/) and other competitions.
In case of a conflict between the above mentioned documents and the FS East Rules 2023, the FS
East Rules 2023 supersede them.

FS East 2023 will be held in summer 2023, exact date and location will be published later.

The Formula Student East 2023 competition is compliant with the ‘Formula Student Rules 2023’
document (hereafter ‘FSG Rules 2023’) published by Formula Student Germany
(https://www.formulastudent.de/fsg/rules/) and ‘FS CV Hybrid Rules Extension 2023’ document
(hereafter ‘CV Hybrid Rules 2023’) published by Formula Student East (https://fseast.eu/) and other
competitions.

The here presented FS East Rules 2023 and all additional rule updates are additions to the above
mentioned documents. In case of a conflict between those documents and the FS East Rules 2023,
the FS East Rules 2023 supersede the other two documents.

Additionally, all guidelines and clarifications posted in the 'Rules and Important Documents' section
on the FS East website (https://fseast.eu/) for the current season are considered as official
documents and therefore are applicable to the teams competing at FS East 2023.

Formula Student East 2023 will allow vehicles with conventional internal combustion engines
(gasoline or ethanol fuelled) and electric powertrain. Furthermore Formula Student East welcomes
the participation of driverless vehicles (both with internal combustion or electric powertrain).

The competing teams and vehicles will be evaluated in the following three categories separately:

◼ Internal Combustion Vehicles (hereafter CV)

o Internal Combustion Vehicles can join this category with or without Hybrid
capabilities
◼ Electric Vehicles (hereafter EV)
◼ Driverless Vehicles (hereafter DV)

The vehicles with a hybrid powertrain system built according to CV Hybrid Rules 2023 are competing
in the CV category.

[EV Only] rules are applied to vehicles with electrical drivetrain, [CV Only] rules are applied to
vehicles with internal combustion engines, regardless of whether or not these cars have driverless
capabilities.

[DV Only] rules are applied to the driverless vehicles with autonomous system defined according to
T14 in FSG Rules 2023 regardless of the drivetrain and they are registered for the DV category in FS
East 2023, however they are still obligated by the drivetrain specific rules. Vehicles with an
autonomous system that are only participating in EV or CV category do not need to be compliant
with [DV Only] rules.

Any rule clarification questions or rule ambiguities concerning the rules for FS East will be resolved by
the FS East Rules Committee. The Rules Committee will answer both FS East Rules 2023 and FSG

12
The Team Registration Form will be available at: http://login.fseast.eu

Registration process:

The team captain should be registered.

The team captain must register the team as well.
After the Team Registration a confirmation email will be sent with the data.
The rest of the team members must register after the Quiz (details will be announced later),
and they must join the already created team once they register.

2.8.2.1. REGISTRATION WITH MULTIPLE TEAMS FROM THE SAME UNIVERSITY

Participation with multiple vehicles: In the case that a university takes part in FS East 2023 in two or
three categories (CV, EV, DV), each participation counts as a separate team and all the teams must be
registered.

Multiple team registration (i.e.: registration with the same vehicle, with the same team to the same
category) is prohibited. Each team should be registered by the team captain only once.

Team Registration closes on the 20th of January 23:59 CET. Only teams who created a valid team
account until the deadline are able to participate in the quiz.

We are going to validate the registered teams after the quiz. Those participating in the quiz under
multiple accounts will be penalized or disqualified.

2.8.2.2. MULTIPLE REGISTRATIONS WITH THE SAME CAR

Teams are allowed to participate in multiple categories with the same car (eg. DV and EV, or CV and
DV), with the following restrictions:

◼ Teams are virtually treated as two separate Teams in the scoring and results.
◼ Teams have to register as one team and mark that they intend to attend as an EV-DV or a CV-
DV
◼ Teams need to pass the quiz in both categories
◼ Both registration fee have to be paid
◼ They have to pass the DV technical inspection process to participate in the dynamic events

13
 o If the DV technical inspection fails, but the EV or CV is passed, and scrutineers state
that the autonomous system can be safely disabled, the car can participate in non-
autonomous driverless events.
◼ Configuration change in the car after technical inspection is prohibited.
◼ For the Static and Dynamic Events the schedule is not guaranteed to be convenient.
◼ All Dynamic events will be available and scored separately for the DV and the CV/EV category
as well.
◼ For the Static Events the following apply:
o Business Plan Presentation Event
▪ The team needs to have only one business presentation, presenting once for
both categories.
o Cost & Manufacturing Event
▪ The team needs to attend one time for the Cost and Manufacturing Event
with questions both for CV/EV and DV category.
o Engineering Design Event
▪ The team needs to attend one time for the Engineering Design Event with
questions both for CV/EV and DV category.

The Event Registration Order will be determined by the results of the Event Registration Quiz.

Separate Event Registration Quiz Forms will be available for Internal Combustion (CV), Electric
Vehicle (EV) and Driverless (DV) Teams.

The links of the Event Registration Quiz Forms will be available at: http://quiz.fseast.eu &
http://fseast.eu/registration

The following team data will be required:

◼ Login name & password

◼ answers of single choice and/or multiple choice questions

IMPORTANT:

After you finish, you must click the “Submit” button at the end of the Event Registration Quiz Form.

14
The system will log the timestamp, which will be used to create the registration order.

Every wrong answer will add 120 seconds to the registration timestamp.

Each team will have only one opportunity.

From the start of the 3rd period, the remaining free places of a vehicle category (CV, EV, DV) may be
filled on the discretion of the organizers, with Waiting List applicants of the other category. (For
example: if there are any free CV places, they may be filled with EV or DV teams, and vice versa.)

Besides this, in the 3rd period the first 6 CV teams of the Waiting list - cv, the first 8 EV teams of the
Waiting list - ev, and the first 6 DV teams of the Waiting list - dv will be asked to pay a part of the
registration fee (see 2.8.8.3.)

During the season the organizer will handle the documents of the starter and the waiting list teams
together. Corrections, e-mailing and documents upload deadline system will be active for all of the
teams that are accepted or are in the top teams of the waiting list.

2.8.8.1. PAYMENT INFORMATION FOR TEAMS ON THE STARTER LIST

Teams will have to pay the registration fee, which does not include the lodging fee if a team applies
for camping. There is no limit to team size.

18
Teams which would like to apply for multiple categories (EV-DV, CV-DV) must pay both of those
categories’ complete registration fee.

Registration fee:
CV: 2100 EUR + VAT (+27%)
EV: 2250 EUR + VAT (+27%)
DV: 2500 EUR + VAT (+27%)

VAT-free payment is only acceptable from the following teams (otherwise transfer the 27% VAT as
well)

◼ Teams with a valid EU VAT number (make sure you have filled it correctly in your team
profile)
◼ Those teams which are located outside the European Union thus do not have an EU VAT
number but do have VAT number and its validity can be proven by sending us a certification
electronically, then we can issue the invoice with a net amount of registration fee. Contact
your finance department about a certification and send it to us via email with your request
for a proforma invoice (if you need a proforma). If your country has a public website which
contains authenticated data of organizations/companies and it includes VAT numbers as
well, a website link can be sufficient as a certification.

In case your team does not have a VAT number or is located in Hungary, please transfer the full
amount of registration fee including 27% VAT.

You are able to request a proforma invoice before payment at [email protected].

Electronic invoices are issued upon successfully completed payments.

After the quiz results are fixed, every team on the starter list has 2 workdays to pay the
registration fee via bank transfer. A payment receipt document provided by the account holder’s
bank should be submitted to [email protected] as a confirmation. Please mind the deadline, that you
can be moved to the end of the waiting list due to late payment.

During all static events (both initial and final judging) a team member may participate only in that
team’s event, which she/he is registered in. Universities participating with multiple vehicles are
considered as separate, individual teams and each participant must be a member of one and only
one team. Active participation on other teams’ static event will be penalized. Enforcing this principle,
the distinct static events of these teams will be scheduled in parallel, in the same time slot.

Universities participating in multiple categories with the same vehicle are counted as one team and
their team members can participate in the events of both categories.

Specific FS East rule addition

Teams cannot submit the same business plan that they presented in a previous FSEast Event,
regardless of the category. (E.g. 2022’s DV business plan cannot be an EV business plan in 2023)

Initial judging of all teams

Final judging of top teams (the number of top teams will be decided by judges on-site)

The judges have the right to determine the number of teams participating in the final judging zero
(0), ergo no teams will participate in the final. In this case the results are determined based on the
initial judging.

Teams participating in the Business Plan Presentation Final will be informed about their participation
during the event.

There is a maximum of seventy-five (75) points from the FS East Business Plan Presentation Judging
Score Sheet. The final score of a team is based on the average of the Judges’ scoring sheets.

Each category is evaluated separately.

NOTE: If rounding - down or up - the average is needed, it will be decided by Judges in the given
Judge Group on spot, before the Static Day ends.

36
The scoring for the non-finalist is calculated as followed:

BPP_SCORE = 70 (Pteam/ Pmax)

Pteam is the score awarded to the team

Pmax is the highest score awarded to any team not participating in the finals

The scoring of the BPP finalists will vary from 75 to 71 points and is scored immediately after the BPP
finals.

The calculation of the points for the endurance scoring are the following:

Tteam is the team’s corrected elapsed time.

Tmax is 1.333 times of the corrected elapsed time of the fastest vehicle

Driverless Autocross Event takes place on the same track as Driverless Trackdrive Event.

Driverless Autocross and Driverless Trackdrive Event will be the same in the Event Schedule, teams
can choose, whether they start their Autocross or their Trackdrive Run, when entering the track.

Previously collected data must be deleted before the Autocross and Trackdrive Event.

Refueling is needed before starting the Trackdrive Event.

Every team has 5 minutes to prepare the car, where the marshalls measure the time. If the vehicle
cannot start its run in 5 minutes, the team must leave the area, no DNF awarded. If the car moves,
then suddenly stops, DNF will be awarded.

For DV Autocross, the last team must enter the area before 15 minutes to Event Closing. After their
run, the event will be closed, even though there are minutes from Official Event Closure.

For DV Trackdrive, the last team must enter the area before 20 minutes to Official Event Closure.
After their run, the event will be closed, even though there are minutes from Official Event Closure.

Pit Rules will be detailed in the Event Handbook.

The schedule for the dynamic events will be shown in the Event Handbook. The last team that is
allowed to start the run is the one that stands at the starting line before the scheduled time is over.
This team is allowed to finish its runs. Teams standing in the row at closing time are not allowed to

46
start their run. At the entrance of the test tracks, the skidpad, acceleration and autocross track, a
CLOSED sign will be placed with the scheduled ending time.

For Driverless Teams, preparation must finish at least 5 minutes before the scheduled closing time.
Vehicle must be in a running state 5 minutes before the closing time. These teams are allowed to
finish their run, no other teams are allowed to participate.

The Trackdrive layout is a closed loop circuit built to the following guidelines:

◼ Straights: No longer than 80m

◼ Constant Turns: up to 50m diameter
◼ Hairpin Turns: Minimum of 9m outside diameter (of the turn)
◼ Miscellaneous: Chicanes, multiple turns, decreasing radius turns, etc.
◼ The minimum track width is 3m

The length of one lap is approximately 200m to 500 m.

The markings of all dynamic events will have the following characteristics:

◼ The track is marked with cones.

◼ The left borders of the track are marked with small blue cones.
◼ The right borders of the track are marked with small yellow cones.
◼ Exit and entry lanes are marked with small orange cones.
◼ Big orange cones will be placed before and after start, finish and timekeeping lines.
◼ If not defined otherwise in chapter D of the rules, the maximum distance between two cones
in driving direction is 5m. In corners, the distance between the cones is smaller for a better
indication.
◼ The start, finish and timekeeping lines as well as keep out zones around the timekeeping
equipment may be marked.
◼ Additionally for skid pad and trackdrive, track limit lines on either side of the track and
entry/exit lanes may be marked.
◼ There are no track limit lines for acceleration and Emergency Brake System (EBS)-test.

47
The cones used at the competition are equal to the cones listed in Table 3 despite that there will be
letters “FSG” on the black/white band of the cones (white/black respectively).

The manufacturer WEMAS6 does not sell the cones to end customers, but they may be purchased
from baustellenabsicherung24.de7.

There are the following limitations mainly resulting from the Hungaroring track conditions and
organizational/authorizational issues:

◼ The lines may not be perfectly and continuously drawn.

◼ There may be further markings, to those mentioned above, that are not part of the track (e.g.
markings, including cone position markings, lines from other events or different colored
surface, etc.) on or close to the track which will not be removed by the officials.
◼ There may be (stacked) spare cones standing/lying at the trackside at a distinguishable
distance.
◼ No special artificial landmarks are provided by officials. The team must not place additional
landmarks on the track or inside the dynamic area.
◼ No map data is provided by the officials.

48
There will be a track walk prior to the autocross. During the track walk no equipment (e.g. antennas,
sensors, cameras, etc) other than analog measurement devices (i.e. measurement wheel or
measurement tape) is allowed.

At the Autocross Event each team has at least two runs consisting of one single lap. The final number
of runs will be published before the start of the event.

The starting order is based on the time the team arrives at the autocross event. Teams on their first
run will receive priority.

Staging - The vehicle is staged such that the front wheels are 6m in front of the starting line on the
track.

Starting - A go-signal from RES is used to indicate the approval to begin. Timing starts after the
vehicle crosses the starting line.

After the run the vehicle must come to a full stop within 30m behind the finish line on the track and
enter the finish-state described in T14.10.

As defined in the FSG Rules 2023.D6.5

Starting order may be defined by the officials, based on previous dynamic event results.

Before starting a run, each vehicle with a fuel tank (CV), must be filled to the fuel level line (see
CV2.6.3, “Fuel Level Line”) at the fueling station. During fueling, once filled to the

scribe line, no shaking or tilting of the tank, the fuel system or the entire vehicle is allowed.

There will be a maximum of two runs, each run consisting of ten laps. The number of runs and the
starting order procedure will be announced before the start of the event.

After ten laps the vehicle must come to a full stop within 30m behind the finish line on the track and
enter the finish-state described in T14.10.

There will be no last lap signal i.e. the vehicle should count laps itself.

The team must proceed directly to the fueling station (vehicles with internal combustion engine
only).

As defined in the FSG Rules 2023.D8.4

The passing rules do not apply to vehicles that are stopped on track or vehicles that have spun out
and are not moving. When passing a stationary vehicle, it is critical to slow down, drive cautiously
and to follow the instructions from the track marshals.

NOTE: Overtaking on any section of the track except passing zones is still not allowed.

NOTE: If you notice any problem causing that you have to stop, please leave the ideal line.

Important: In order to have equal and fair conditions during the Endurance event at least 3 cars have
to be on the track during the whole time of the Endurance event.

50
Therefore the Organisers will maintain a waiting queue of 3 teams. It is the team’s responsibility to
arrive in the waiting queue before the deadline -which will be announced for each team in the
loudspeakers 15 minutes before the deadline. A delay will be penalised with 2 minutes penalty and
the team will be able to start only at the end of the endurance event.

NOTE: According to experience of earlier years Formula Student events, it is expected to have sudden
need for new teams in the waiting queue in the first section of the endurance event due to early
DNFs. Please be prepared to attend the queue on time!

The full length of the Endurance event will be approximately 22 km.

The Endurance and Autocross track will be laid out with cones. In the straights, the distance between
two cones will be 8-10 m in driving direction, and in some straights, the track width could be 3-8 m.

FS East offers two types of fuels for teams.

Gasoline, RON 100

MOL Racing Fuel DRX (ethanol 85%, with 15% RON 106 maingrade gasoline). Details can be
found at www.fseast.eu

Teams should come to the FS East 2023 event with empty fuel tank. It is not possible to empty the
fuel tank in the FS East Pits. Measuring the ethanol ratio of the fuel is not allowed at the event site,
further details of the provided fuel can be found at www.fseast.eu.

Teams must fill the tank fully at the first time.

In case of the suspension of the endurance, teams are allowed to have the engine heating procedure
again. In this case, the fuel must be fueled top before the endurance starts again.

51
Transponders will be provided by FS East Event.

Transponders have to be mounted by the teams and it must not be removed until the competition
ends, since it is vital for the timekeeping system

Transponders must be placed safely (securely attached, protected from debris and hot surfaces) on
the left side of the vehicle (preferably on the nose cone, sidebox or diffuser) for timekeeping.

Important: Transceiving surface of the transponder must not be faced to the ground, but point to the
left parallelly to the ground and perpendicularly to the centerline of the vehicle. The transceiving
surface must not be obscured by any parts of the vehicle.

The picture below introduces the possible mounting positions:

Cars, that finish Endurance / Autocross Event or coming to the Driver Change Area to change drivers,
shall drive to the Driver Change Entrance line with race - speed, without holding up any other racing
participants. Cars shall reduce their speed at the Driver Change Area entrance. Drivers, who does not
obey this rule (determined on the Race Leader Officials viewpoint), will get a 15 second time penalty
in addition to their sum Endurance / Autocross Time.

In case of obvious slowing - down of any race car, when slow speed reducement can be harmful for
other cars’ racing, officials have the right to show Meatball flag for the slow car, in order to examine
it in the Driver Change Area.

52
In case of track marshals notice major failure with the vehicle , yellow flags and STOP tables will be
shown by the organisers. Drivers must stop the vehicle at the side of the track in a safe place.
