Over the past two years, more than 20 students have been involved in designing, manufacturing, testing and perfecting their own racing vehicle in the workshop at Pfaffenwaldring. The end result: the F0711-15 - active aerodynamics, custom carbon rims and a self-welded titanium exhaust system that provides a distinctive sound. And these are just a few of the racing car's technical highlights, with which the University of Stuttgart's racing team competed against international Formula Student teams in the 2020/21 season
The team celebrated six victories and a total of sixteen trophies, awarded for various disciplines in the summer of 2021, at events in Austria, Hungary, Croatia, the Netherlands and at Hockenheimring in Germany. The team secured their greatest success of the season at the Hungaroring in Hungary. Three wins, two second places and three other top ten results in nine different disciplines led to second place overall in the Combustion Vehicle class. This achievement was made possible by team spirit, the ability to overcome setbacks and, last but not least, hard work in the workshop at Pfaffenwaldring and at local events.
The racing team is recruiting
As one Formula Student season comes to an end, the next one begins: the construction of the F0711-16 is already underway. Heads up! The team is recruiting new members who want to contribute their ideas and energy! Interested students can apply for the hybrid, aerodynamics & frame, electrics, chassis and powertrain divisions using the form on the team's website.
