TU Berlin<br />

FaSTTUBe<br />

53<br />

Coming from the capital of Germany<br />

from the Technische Universität Berlin<br />

(Berlin Institute of Technology) FaST-<br />

TUBe is now in its ninth season and<br />

ready to continue its run in successfully<br />

engineering, constructing and racing<br />

in the Formula Student.<br />

With around 40 students<br />

from all different<br />

majors and interests,<br />

FaSTTUBe is steadily<br />

working on perfecting<br />

their racecar and its<br />

performance. But not<br />

only technical skills are<br />

required to be a part<br />

of FaSTTUBe. A wide<br />

range of skills is necessary<br />

when it comes to<br />

putting all the pieces together<br />

and working towards a goal as<br />

a team and as a unit. At FaSTTUBe it’s<br />

all about teamwork. Everybody is aware<br />

of their own value for the team and<br />

the responsibility they have for its success.<br />

Furthermore the combination of<br />

the skills and the knowledge acquired<br />

during the courses at the Berlin Institute<br />

of Technology and actually putting<br />

this knowledge to work in the garage<br />

and meeting rooms of FaSTTUBe is inevitable.<br />

Every year FaSTTUBe puts great effort<br />

in not only following up the good results<br />

from previous years, but also to<br />

further improve the benchmarks set<br />

in the racing but also in the construction<br />

and marketing categories. The<br />

strive for success is what unites everybody<br />

at FaSTTUBe and is the motor<br />

that keeps the team growing. Over the<br />

past few years many alumni have begun<br />

their working careers at all kinds<br />

of manufactures and different companies,<br />

all of whom were either sponsors<br />

for FaSTTUBe or willing to help in the<br />

not always easy challenge of successfully<br />

constructing and building a new<br />

FaSTTUBe racecar.<br />

All in all FaSTTUBe is a highly motivated<br />

racing team made up of individuals<br />

who not only share a passion for<br />

racing but also a motivation to work<br />

towards success as a team. All of us are<br />

looking forward to having a great time<br />

at Formula Student <strong>Austria</strong> this year.<br />

We hope to meet other teams from all<br />

over the world to share our passion, to<br />

talk about racing and technology and<br />

joy<br />

this beautiful sport!<br />
