North Macedonia's first Formula Student team

Formula Student is the world's most established engineering design competition — run under Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and IMechE sanctioning, with events across Europe, the US, and Asia. Teams of university students design, build, and race a full single-seater formula car, judged on engineering design, cost, business planning, and dynamic performance.

Mario Blazevski founded and leads North Macedonia's inaugural Formula Student programme at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of St. Cyril and Methodius in Skopje — the first time the country has been represented at this level of international student engineering competition.

International scrutineering roles

Beyond leading the national team, Mario serves as a Chief Mechanical Scrutineer and official technical inspector at three international Formula Student events — a role that requires FIA International Technical Sporting Licences (EQF Level 8) and deep expertise in vehicle safety regulations.

  • Formula Student Alpe Adria (FSAA) — Zagreb, Croatia: Chief Mechanical Scrutineer since June 2023. Led full vehicle technical inspection programme; digitised the scrutineering workflow, achieving a verified 20% reduction in per-car inspection time without reducing regulatory rigour.
  • Formula Student Portugal (FSPT): Official scrutineer since March 2024. Comprehensive vehicle inspections covering chassis, suspension, braking, and EV/ICE powertrain systems.
  • Formula Student Czech Republic (FSCZ): Official scrutineer since March 2024. Mentored student teams on regulatory compliance and iterative design improvement.

Regulatory expertise

Mario holds dual FIA International Technical Sporting Licences (EQF Level 8) — first issued in 2023, recertified 2024 — and an FIA Steward Licence (EQF Level 5). He also serves as President of the Technical Commission at the Automobile Federation of North Macedonia (AMSM / FIA member), chairing the national technical regulatory body governing vehicle safety and motorsport compliance.
