-Student Racing Team ‘D.O.S’ … Takes 1st Place in Formula Category

Pukyong National University (President Bae Sang-hoon) student racing team D.O.S (Dream Of Senna, Team Leader Joo Hyun-bin, Faculty Advisor Professor Park Young-hwan) won first place at the 2024 National University Formula Student Car Competition (2024 3rd KFGP STUDENT).

 

The D.O.S team claimed victory in the Formula category at this year’s competition, held at the Korea International Circuit (KIC) in Yeongam, where 43 teams from 29 universities participated.

 

The KFGP STUDENT is a competition held at the same international motorsport circuit where F1 races have taken place. In this event, universities from across the country participate with self-built race cars created by students, racing to determine rankings.

 

Pukyong National University’s D.O.S team claimed first place in the Formula category, completing the 3.045 km time trial course with a driving time of 19 minutes 289 seconds, a pit stop time of 1 minute 7 seconds, a pit stop conversion time of 3 minutes 21 seconds, and a total time of 22 minutes 51 seconds.

 

The D.O.S team at Pukyong National University designed and built a formula race car using a 649cc power unit, focusing on weight reduction, and they achieved excellent results by focusing on reducing pit stop times for tire changes during the race.

 

D.O.S team leader, Joo Hyun-bin, shared his thoughts, saying, “I’m happy to see our efforts and activities with the team being rewarded. It was a great opportunity to prove that the car we built together is truly competitive.”

 

Meanwhile, Pukyong National University’s self-made car club, D.O.S, which was founded in 1996, has been actively participating and winning awards in various self-made car competitions. <Pukyong Today>
