Bruno Ban is a final-year student at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, University of Zagreb. Now in his fourth year with the FSB Racing Team, he served as Head of the Mechanical subteam for the 2024/25 season, focusing on component design and subteam coordination.
Due to the need for mass reduction, tight packaging, and overall car performance, it is necessary to reduce the weight and dimensions of every component of the car, including the gearbox and other drivetrain components. It is also very important to ensure that gears, bearings, and shafts can withstand the whole racing season and have the necessary safety factor. Using KISSsoft software, FSB Racing Team was able to develop a new gearbox for the AWD Formula Student car, which can easily fit inside upright and withstand 50 hours of racing.
