Every Formula Student event has that moment. The car is almost ready. The team is tired. The officials are everywhere. The schedule is moving. Someone is looking for a document, someone else is looking for a driver, and somehow the whole thing still feels amazing. FSCzech is built for exactly that moment. It brings the Formula Student Czech Republic competition into one app — schedule, scrutineering, tasks, food, documents, LiveTiming, results, penalties, and all the small things that suddenly become very important when the event is running at full speed. For teams, FSCzech helps you keep track of what is happening, where you need to be, and what your car still needs to survive before it can finally hit the track. For officials and volunteers, it helps turn event-week chaos into something slightly more organized. Not perfectly organized. This is still Formula Student. But definitely better. For fans, it gives you a way to follow the competition, check results, watch LiveTiming, and stay closer to the cars, teams, and people that make the event worth it. Whether you are waiting for technical inspection, running to your next task, checking if your team made it through, choosing lunch, hunting for documents, or just trying to understand why everyone suddenly started moving very quickly — FSCzech keeps the important stuff close. Key Features Event Schedule Stay on top of the full competition timetable with real-time updates and push notifications. Onboarding Guided onboarding for officials and team captains at the start of the event. Technical Inspection Sheets Digital scrutineering sheets for each car, with NFC chip integration for fast vehicle identification. Driver Verification Assign NFC wristbands to drivers and verify them directly at discipline starts. Disqualification Reports Capture and submit issues with photo evidence for review. Officials Task Schedule Personalized task assignments, so officials know where they need to be before someone has to chase them through the paddock. Meal Selection Officials can choose their meals in advance and check their selections anytime. Documents & Links Quick access to essential competition documents and useful resources. LiveTiming Faster? Slower? Suspiciously fast? Check LiveTiming. Results Check your team’s results directly in the app. Penalties & Violations Track penalties and violations in one place. FSCzech is made for the teams, officials, volunteers, and fans who know that Formula Student is stressful, loud, exhausting, occasionally confusing — and somehow one of the best things in the world.
