About Us
With support from Mercedes-Benz Serbia and the Emil Frey Group, Drumska Strela is the first Serbian Formula Student team. Its members are University of Belgrade students who design, build, and test a new vehicle each year before competing with it at prestigious Formula Student events around the world.
MISSION
Developing the innovation and practical skills of future engineers.
VISION
To push the boundaries of education by investing in practical work.
GOALS
To be successful in everything we do.
BEST PRACTICE
Drumska Strela is an opportunity for students to apply the theoretical knowledge gained at university, although the project often requires a much deeper understanding of specific subject areas. During the season, team members learn far more about certain fields than they would through regular studies, learn to think outside the box, find solutions independently, take initiative and stand behind their decisions. They also have the opportunity to learn from students who have worked on the project for years and gained knowledge across many fields, while being expected to take responsibility, complete tasks on time and develop teamwork and communication skills alongside solving engineering problems.
ENTHUSIASM
Ten completed vehicles, 25 competitions, more than 1,000 designed, manufactured and procured parts every year… Behind all of this are 500 students who have passed through the team and more than 100,000 working hours invested so that Drumska Strela could become what it is today. Countless obstacles, constraints and problems that students must face from the beginning to the end of the season, along with the successes that follow, show that this project is built on the enthusiasm with which team members approach every challenge.
FRIENDSHIP
Drumska Strela is more than a team. It is a group of students united by a common goal, going through good and difficult moments together, writing history together and pushing boundaries. Friendship is an essential part of teamwork. The best proof of this is the constant support of alumni members, as well as the atmosphere within the team. After an entire season, despite all the effort, team members still — often even more than at the beginning — love what they do and enjoy it. That love for the project remains an important cohesive force that turns the formula car into a perfect structure standing for much more than the sum of its parts.
