"I was in Zermatt for paragliding. The view of Zermatt was awesome! I flow from 3000m to Zermatt, and I could take the picture with the Matterhorn “chocolate mountain” before getting back to the ground."
Ka Yeung Wong, Exchange student in Spring 2022, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (People's Republic of China)

ZHAW has had its own Formula Student team since 2019, but a combination of the coronavirus pandemic and a technical fault has so far prevented them from fully taking part in a race. They are determined to put that right in 2022. The 50 members of the team are highly motivated and are currently developing a new racing car.
