BlueStreamline, the Formula Student team of Transilvania University of Brașov, ranks first in Europe for the first time, in the top of the best Formula Student teams for both combustion-engine and hybrid vehicles. The top was made by Vincenzo Bevilacqua – Senior Expert Engine Analysis at Porsche Engineering, based on the 2025 competition results.

Transilvania University’s team has spectacularly climbed in the European top, after ranking 6^th last year. After a year of BlueStreamline taking the podium in all international competitions, the end of 2025 established them as Europe’s leaders. Furthermore, they outranked teams who had traditionally occupied the first places, such as MoRe Modena Racing Team (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia) or FSUPV Team (Polytechnic University of Valencia).

In 2025, at Formula Student Spain, BlueStreamline ranked first (for the third year in a row) under the “combustion-engine vehicles” category, in which they became absolute champions of the competition. In Italy, on the Autodromo Varano de’ Melegari circuit, the team of Transilvania University of Brașov climbed to the second place; and, as regards the competition in Croatia, they ranked third under the “combustion-engine vehicle” category. In the national championship, BlueStreamline is the absolute champion.

The year 2025 was exceptional for BlueStreamline, not only in the light of these results, but also through the achievement of building an electric racing car. It was a first for the team of Transilvania University of Brașov to participate in international competitions with an electric single-seater designed and built entirely by students.

BlueStreamline team are already training for the 2026 competitions; therefore, they have launched the combustion-engine car that will compete on the international circuits. In February, they will launch their new electric vehicle, too.
