🇩🇪 Formula Student Germany 2024 🇩🇪

We are overall EV & DC winners at FSG 2024!

We are incredibly proud to announce that we have won the electric and driverless cups at Formula Student Germany 2024 at the Hockenheimring. This amazing achievement comes only two weeks after the double victory at FSEast 2024.

The technical inspections were once again completed quickly, giving us crucial time to prepare for the dynamic events while simultaneously competing in the static disciplines. We were able to win EV Engineering Design, while scoring decent points in the other static disciplines.

While we got close several times on Thursday and Friday, our first dynamic wins came Saturday with Trackdrive and EV Autocross. On Sunday, we competed in a thrilling wet final 5 race in the EV Endurance event. Our tire choice didn’t pay off, but the time we set still earned us lots of points both in the Endurance and Efficiency disciplines.

The second award ceremony marked the brightest highlight of our season, as we were declared overall winners in the electric class with 886.23/1000 points, and of the driverless cup with 500.22/600 points. This incredible achievement concludes the most successful season in association history with five overall victories (3 x EV and 2 x DV).

We have many people to thank for their support in this incredible year, from our sponsors to our alumni and many more. The achievements of this season would not have been possible without you. Additionally, we want to thank the team at @formulastudentgermany for all their work and for giving us and the other 78 teams this platform to compete. And finally, to all the teams that we have encountered on track this season, thank you for this amazing year of great competition. We can’t wait to see you on track again next year!

🇭🇺 Formula Student East 2024 🇭🇺

We are overall EV & DV champions at FSEast 2024 🏆 🏎️

During the first week of august, we attended our third event of the 2024 season, Formula Student East, at the ZalaZone Automotive Proving Ground in Zalaegerszeg, Hungary.

This event was also the first event with a driverless (DV) category alongside the manual (EV) category for us this season. This meant that we had a lot more disciplines packed into the week, as we competed in both categories simultaneously with the same car and team.

The event began with technical inspections, where we swiftly passed scrutineering and made the finals in EV and DV Design, as well as Cost, winning all three and securing overall statics victories in EV and DV. In dynamics, we achieved top positions in manual and driverless disciplines, including 2nd in manual Autocross and 1st in Endurance, despite challenging conditions. Our performance culminated in overall victories in both EV and DV categories, marking the first time a car has won both since the EV/DV merge. We are immensely proud of this unprecedented achievement.

At this point, we would like to thank the organizers at @formulastudenteast for organizing an event we won’t forget for a while. Thanks also to all other teams for the great competition. Special congratulations to @arrabona_racing_team for the overall win in the combustion class, and to @tugracing for yet another skidpad record!

🇦🇹 Formula Student Austria 2024 🇦🇹

Two weeks ago, we attended our second event of the season, Formula Student Austria, at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Austria.

Despite some issues during the technical inspections, we were able to pass them all in time for the dynamic disciplines. Meanwhile, we made two out of three statics finals, resulting in third place in the business plan presentation and second place in engineering design, marking another solid statics performance.

The dynamic disciplines kicked off with a hectic acceleration and skidpad session on a drying track. We managed our run plan well, and showed our performance with the fastest time in acceleration and a solid skidpad run for third place. Autocross followed, where we narrowly missed out on the win to finish second by less than four tenths of a second.

Our last day however, ended early in heartbreak, with an electrical issue causing a retirement on the first lap of the endurance event, thus also taking us out of contention for the overall win. Despite this disappointment, we are proud of the potential we were able to show, and leave FSA 2024 with our heads held high.

Once again, Formula Student Austria proved a tough but awesome event. We would like to thank the organizers at @fsaustria for organizing yet another memorable edition of this iconic Formula Student event. Thanks also to all teams for the great competition and atmosphere. Special congratulations to @fsteamtallinn for the overall win, and to @tugracing for the new skidpad record.

🇨🇭 Formula Student Switzerland 2024 🇨🇭

Last week, our first event of the 2024 season, @fsswitzerland took place in Obergoms, Valais, Switzerland.

We were able to pass the technical inspections quickly, giving us more time to prepare for our static and dynamic disciplines. We were able to reach the engineering design finals, where we were able to secure first place. A second place in cost & manufacturing and a 6th place in the business plan presentation round off a strong performance in statics.

Starting with a thrilling late-night skidpad session, we experienced a great run in the dynamic events, winning every discipline. All together, these results were enough to secure us our second consecutive overall win at our home event, with a score of 983/1000 points.

We would like to thank all teams and organizers/volunteers at @fsswitzerland for another great event. Congratulations to all the other teams, and all the best for the rest of the season. Last but not least, congratulations to @dynamisprc and @rennschmiedepforzheim for your overall podium finishes 💪.
