    2008 - Establishment<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    The year 2008 was the year Prom Racing Team was established by 5 undergraduate mechanical engineers, who were influenced by their love for motorsports. Those undergraduates studied and designed a Formula-type racing car, specially formed to comply with the regulations of the Formula Student World competition. Once the team was newly established, there were no available financial and non- resources, so as to proceed to the manufacturing of the racing car, that was designed. Nonetheless, we managed to gain the first place in Class 3 (only design of the racing car, not including the manufacturing of it) in FS Italy, where our team was given encouraging feedback regarding its mechanical design.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t

    2020 - P20 (v) e-Liza<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    The year 2019-2020 was a very unusual year for us. After our highly successful seasons in the combustion category of the competition, for the Greek data, we decided to take the next step and make the transition to the electric category. Our team participated in January in the established process of \"Quiz\", and won the\u00a01st place<\/b>\u00a0in the world in the\u00a0\"Quiz\" for Formula Student East<\/b>. It also secured its participation in the Formula Student Austria and Formula Student Germany competitions. However, the spread of the pandemic led to the cancellation of all competitions and for a period, due to lockdown, the construction of the vehicle stopped. However, we decided to participate in Formula Student Online, the first online competition, which highlights the \"reflexes\" of the institution to keep pace with the requirements and needs of the time. There, our team won the 6th place in the statics` overall standings. More specifically, we won\u00a06th place<\/b>\u00a0in the\u00a0Business Plan<\/b>,\u00a08th place<\/b>\u00a0in the\u00a0Concept Design Challenge<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a011th place<\/b>\u00a0in the\u00a0Engineering Design Event.<\/b><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t
