ART_13 made its debut in front of a record-breaking crowd

On June 5, 2026, our team held this year’s Partner Day and Rollout event at Science Park, where our partners, university sponsors, other Formula Student teams, and alumni members came together to celebrate a new milestone for the Arrabona Racing Team.

Partner Day

The first half of the day was dedicated to our Partner Day, during which our team’s sponsors had the opportunity to showcase their work to one another. During the presentations, we gained insight into the companies’ operations, products, and professional approach, and several of our partners also shared their experiences from their collaboration with the Arrabona Racing Team.

Our team leader, Gergely Vojnits, welcomed the participating partners. The event provided an excellent opportunity for networking and professional exchange between our partners and team members.

Rollout 2026 – Spotlight on Our Latest Race Car

The main event of the afternoon was, of course, this year’s Rollout, which attracted a record number of nearly 320 participants, surpassing last year’s attendance.

The program was opened with a welcome speech by Sven Richter, a representative of Audi Hungaria Zrt., followed by Csaba Tóth-Nagy, an associate professor in the Department of Vehicle Drive Technology and Power Electronics, who shared his thoughts on student innovation, the importance of teamwork, and the significance of Formula Student.

Following this, Gergely Vojnits introduced the participants to the world of Formula Student, our team’s annual work plan, and the upcoming races for the 2026 season.

One of the most exciting parts of the event was a professional roundtable discussion, where our engineers candidly shared the challenges, experiences, and engineering decisions of the past nine months. Participants in the discussion:

• Balázs Czetin – Head of Vehicle Dynamics

• Péter Frazon – Head of Composites

• Mátyás Frech – Head of E-Powertrain

Our department heads willingly answered the host’s questions, offering a glimpse behind the scenes of the design and construction process.

The moment everyone had been waiting for…

The highlight of the evening was, of course, the unveiling of the 2026 race car, the ART_13.

The new vehicle is not only the 13th car in the history of the Arrabona Racing Team, but also our team’s second electric race car, marking another important step in our transition to the electric category.

It was a special pleasure for us that other university Formula Student teams also honored our event with their presence, not only from Hungary but also from Linz and Graz.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our partners, sponsors, guests, and team members for being part of this special day. And now, we are preparing with full force for the challenges of the 2026 racing season!
