ETH Zürich
AMZ Racing
The AMZ Racing Team was founded in 2006 by students from
the ETH Zurich. It is the only swiss formula student team, with
team members from various Swiss universities, making it the inofficial
Swiss national formula student team.
The team is organised in active members and passive members.
The active members are designing, building and testing the car
for the current formula student season. The passive members are
mostly so-called “veterans”, former active team members, which
assist the core team with their knowhow and experience while
maintaining the retired formula student cars.
After competing 3 years with combustion cars, the team
started designing electric cars in 2010. Since then, every
car featured innovative solutions, 2011 the
first self-developed motor, 2012 10”-wheels
and the first aerodynamic package, 2013
4WD and wheel-hub motors and 2014 adaptive
dampers and DRS.
All cars are named after swss alpine passes (albula,
maloja, simplon, furka, novena, umbrail, julier).
The newest car is called grimsel. It features
a one-piece CFRP monocoque, self-developed
AMZ M4 motors, one-piece CFRP rims, triple-foil
aerodynamics, including drag reduction system,
and an adaptive damping system.
