FS Austria Event Programme 2018

Attention all teams, 

Dear friends of Formula Student Austria, 

It‘s a party! 

Formula Student Austria is celebrating its 10th anniversary 

this year and we‘re thrilled to welcome you to the birthday 

party! 

I 2008 a small group of Austria Formula Student 

Alumni decided that it was time to host an 

Austrian event. At that time Austria had three 

rather successful teams (graz, the other graz 

and tu Vienna) so having our own competition 

seemed like the next step. 

So, in the summer of 2009, the first Formula 

Student Austria was held on the Wachauring, a 

small rallycross & training track in Melk, lower 

Austria. 

21 teams attended and it became clear that there was indeed 

more than enough interest to warrant an additional 

european event. 

As 2010 marked the introduction of electric cars to FS it 

also became clear that even the increased number of 27 

teams would not cut it for the future. Our venue had become 

too small for our needs. 

Luckily, red Bull had just completed the work on the former 

A1 ring in Spielberg - the track now known as red 

Bull ring - and prepared for a grand opening in May 2011. 

So Formula Student Austria, now with 32 teams, became 

one of the first Motorsports events to use the freshly rebuilt 

site and what can we say - we stayed ever since. 

2012 we again grew to 42 teams and almost 1000 participants. 

the next milestone was set in 2013 when we became official 

part of the FSAe World Series (and also the last addition 

till today), which also got us a seat on the international 

rules committee where we could try and shape 

the future of Formula Student as a whole. 

the last big step was taken in 2017 when we 

again expanded our grid to 50 spots ( = almost 

1500 participants), which marks the current capacity 

limit of the site (i.e. 1/2 of the pit lane), but 

who knows what the future might bring ;-) 

enough dwelling on the past, let‘s look forward 

to a great event, a celebration of fun and passion 

engineering, team spirit and cooperation past all borders. 

A big thank you to all of our sponsors and partners, to all 

the volunteers and judges and to the teams travelling from 

everywhere between uS and Australia, between norway 

and India, between estonia an Israel for making FSA a staple 

in the Formula Student world, and a fun one at that. 

Keep on racing, 

Lukas raschendorfer

of the rulebook as well as the technical inspection at the 

event. 

Benjamin MÖLLer 

A whole lot of Volunteers | Making FSA happen 

Seven guys may be enough to organize the event, but to 

actually run the event a much greater number of people 

is needed. this is where all of our red-shirted volunteers 

step in and take over all the tasks from scrutineering to 

fetching the cones that were ungently removed from their 

positions. 

Like the steering committee, they are all volunteers, dedicating 

their free time and holidays to providing you a great 

experience.

FOrMuLA StuDent 

Scope and Martin History MAtZer 

„The Formula SAE ® Series competitions challenge 

teams of university undergraduate and graduate students 

to conceive, design, fabricate, develop and compete 

with small, formula style, vehicles.“ 

Formula SAe rule A1.1: Competition Objective 

the roots of formula student lie in 1970s texas, as a 

variant to the already existing Mini Baja (competition 

for lawnmower-powered offroad vehicles). the idea 

resonated well and after a few establishing years, Formula 

SAe was introduced as a design competition with a very 

open ruleset and also much more "race" appeal since the 

cars were allowed to have engines with siginficant power 

comapred to the spec‘d single cylinders in Baja. 

the event quickly picked up momentum, and in 1998 it 

made the jump over the big pond when Formula Student 

uK was the first non-uS competition to be held. Soon other 

followed and today there are eight official competitions all 

over the World: 

• Formula SAe Michigan 

• Formula SAe Lincoln 

• Formula SAe Australasia 

• Formula Student Austria 

• Formula SAe Brazil 

• Formula Student germany 

• Formula SAe Italy 

• Formula Student (uK) 

Additionally, there a whole lot of unofficial events held 

around the globe, e.g. in India, the netherlands, Hungary,the 

Czech republic and many more. 

So what is it all about? Formula Student is an engineering 

Design competition that should teach engineering 

students some real-world skills relevant to the automotive 

and other industries. to sucessfully compete, a team 

has to delve into research, design, manufacturing, testing, 

developing, marketing, management and finances - this 

favors or even requires the formation of multi-disciplinary 

teams. this and the fact that Formula Student is as much 

a project management exercise as it is an engineering 

challenge, it teaches the competitors a valuable and industry-appreciated 

combination of soft- and hard skills. 

the vehicle itself is governed by a set of internationally 

agreed upon rules. the rules have grown pretty complex 

over the years (the rule book is now larger than the one for 

F1), so here are the defining characteristics: 

Vehicle: 

• Open-Wheel, Open-Cockpit, Formula-style body 

• four wheels 

• aerodynamic devices are limited in size 

C - powertrain: 

• 20mm Air restrictor (19mm for e85) 

• turbo/supercharging is allowed 

e-powertrain: 

• any number of motors and driven wheels 

• 80kw peak system power 

As originally intended, Fromula Student has become a major 

source of highly qualified graduates in the engineering 

world, focused but not limited to the automotive sector. 

even in the highest classes of professional motorsports, 

FS team jackets and memorabilia can be seen everywhere. 

the unique compination of engineering and project management 

skills required to complete and run an FS car 

makes it a great preparation for real-world projects. this 

is recognized by many businesses, making it an ideal stepping 

stone from academics into an interesting rewarding 

job. 


Disciplines 

The first of the so-called Dynamic Disciplines is the Acceleration. 

The car has to accelerate from a standstill and cover 

a distance of 75 meters a quickly as possible. Due to a high 

power to weight ratio, FSAE cars can do this in well below 

four seconds with terminal speeds of well over 100 kph, outrunning 

almost all road-going sportscars. Each team can 

have two drivers, each of them doing two runs. 

Maximum Score: 75 

2017 Winner C: TU Graz 

2017 Winner E: Uni Stuttgart (Greenteam) 

In the Skid Pad event the lateral ability of the car is tested on 

a figure-eight course. After entering the course, the driver 

he has to go round the right circle (right turn) two times, then 

round the left circle (left turn) two times - the time for the second 

lap of each circle is used to determine the score. Again, 

each team has 4 runs split among two drivers. 


2017 Winner C: UAS Coburg (CAT Racing) 

2017 Winner E: UAS Munich (tuFast) 

The Autcross track is a handling course consisting of turns, 

hairpins, straights and slaloms and is roughly 1000 meters 

long. Each car enters the track on its own and will do a single 

“hot lap“ of the course. 

The track is marked using small traffic cones which will, 

when hit, result in a two-second penalty. 

Each team has two runs for each of their two drivers. 

Maximum score: 100 

2017 Winner C: TUfast (TU Munich) 

2017 Winner E: AMZ Racing (ETH Zürich) 

The Endurance race takes part on a closed autocross course 

over a distance of 22km. At half-time a driver change is performed 

and the car has to perform a hot restart. This event 

is driven with multiple cars on the course but overtakes are 

performed in special two-lane overtaking zones. 

The fuel/energy consumption as well as the laptimes during 

the Endurance are used to calculate the Efficiency score. 

Maximum Score: 325 (Endurance) / 100 (Efficiency) 

2017 Winner C: Rennteam Stuttgart / Akron 

2017 Winner E: AMZ Racing (ETH Zürich 


The most important one of the Statics is the Engineering 

Design Event. During the judging the team has to present 

their car to a group of automotive and racing experts. These 

judges will check if the design goals have been met, if the 

team members understand their design and if it has been 

executed well. 


2017 Winner C: Rennteam Stuttgart / Akron 

2017 Winner E: TUfast (TU Munich) 

For the Cost Event, the teams have to submit a detailed Bill of 

materials up front. At the event, their correctness and completenessis 

checked an the team is presented with an additional 

cost-related task. 

During the Presentation Event, the teams have to present a 

business plan for selling their design to fictional investors. 

Maximum Score: 100 (Cost) / 75 (Business) 

2017 Cost Winner C: TUfast (TU Munich) 

2017 Presentation Winner C: KA raceing (KIT Karlsruhe) 

2017 Cost Winner E: Barcelona 

2017 Presentation Winner E: Uni Stuttgart (Greenteam) 

When all the events are over, the scores are added up and 

the Winner Over All is determined. Additionally, prices are 

given to the best teams in each discipline. From 2014 on, the 

scoring was split between cars with electric and combustion 

powertrain.

KA-RaceIng

Hello together, we are KA-RaceIng and we want to say sorry 

for this teampage. As always we decided to write this text one 

hour before the deadline, just to realise that the deadline is two 

days later, if we would just listen to our COO once … 

“Calendar!” But enough of our ability to read dates, lets introduce our better half. 

With our new combustion car, we tried to keep the lightweight 

design of last year and bring more power by turbo charging our 

single cylinder engine. Sadly we are neither really light, nor do we 

have the most power. Besides our beer, we have one thing that 

makes us special… our awarness of deadlines. Jokes aside, our 

KIT18c is not only one of our earliest driving cars in the KA- 

RaceIng history, but a complete revolution compared to the last 

season. Our engine got an huge update with the comeback of our 

beloved and missed friend: the turbocharger. Titanium welded 

uprights and other optimisations saved us more than 4 kilogramms, our electronic team implemented a 

brand new interface unit and the aerodynamic crew inceased the downforce by more than 12 percent. 

As you see, we are a team, full of love for our project, passion 

for motorsport but also the needed crazyiness and fun. 

Although we are writing about a combustion car, we are “one 

team - three cars”. Last year we were the only team with 

three cars driving, this year we are back with three even better 

ones, motivated to fight for first places all over again. Feel free 

to visit us in our Pit, talk to us and you will realise that we are 

happy students who enjoy each second we can spent at one of 

our KITs. 

Long story short, we love what we do, our car is not perfect but 

for us it’s the most beautiful car we could possibly build and for 

all the lazy people we wrote down our keyfacts in a short table.

#PASSIONWORKS – not only the name of our 

cars but also our favorite phrase used in our last 

Team Magazine uploads. 

After obtaining all the knowledge about our 

long time used (and loved) 4-cylinder-engine, 

we asked ourselves: How could we make our 

lives more difficult? 

By asking all six of our team members 

we evaluated that we couldn`t stand our 

electronic parts and therefore our choice for 

an astonishingly vibrating one-cylinder-engine 

was easy. 

While seeing less power with the new engine 

concept, it allows us to give our drivers full 

comfort. Highlights are our seat with a massage 

function and the fancy new cup holder with an 

integrated shaking function for your perfect 

drink-to-go. 

Hopefully we will manage to finish the 

endurance without losing to many K-Nuts! 

KEYFACTS

Team Bath Racing are 

back in Austria this year 

for the first time since 

2015, with their brand 

new challenger, TBR18. 

The University of Bath’s 

Formula Student team 

consists this year of 20 

final year engineering 

students, assisted by 45 

younger year students. 

The design philosophy of this year’s car has been to optimise for transient 

performance, meaning developing a racecar that performs excellently in acceleration, 

braking and cornering. Based on a full carbon fibre monocoque and powered by a 

brand new, turbocharged KTM 690cc single cylinder engine, which is fuelled with E85, 

the car produces 70 hp and 77.5 Nm. Running on OZ Racing Magnesium wheels and 

Avon tyres, with a full aerodynamics package generating over 1100N of downforce at 

80kph, TBR18 promises to be a dynamically excellent Formula Student car.

The HSNR Racing Team was founded in 2011 in Krefeld, Germany, being part of the UAS Niederrhein. 

With the RS-18c there was a huge change in the vehicle’s concept. Our goal was to increase the 

driveability and cornering speed to improve our overall performance. A new self-made gearbox, a more 

agile suspension and the first ever aerodynamic package make the seventh car of our team unique.

The distinguishing features of this year’s racecar are the new design and the weight reduction of 15 kg 

excluding aerodynamics. The centre of gravity was lowered significantly by developing a more ergonomic 

chassis and designing the car more compact. 

The RS-18c is a big step for HSNR Racing and on track it will hopefully show what it is capable of. We’re 

looking forward to an exciting event here at FSA and want to thank all sponsors and supporters!

Aixtreme Racing 

In 2007, when the No Angels reunited (anyone loving 

Lucys hair as much as we do?), a group of students 

from the University of Applied Sciences in Aachen 

decided to take part in the formula student 

competition and establish a team: Aixtreme Racing! 

One year later the first car was build. 

Nowadays being part of Aixtreme Racing means joining a group 

of 13 individuals from different faculties: mechanical engineers, 

business engineers, automotive engineers and one technical 

communication scientist – which is also our cook. 

Coming from FH Aachen, we are perfectly prepared for 

independently contracting a flawless car due to the mind-set of 

education in a very practical way. 

With the FS17 we developed a completely new vehicle last 

season. This concept is now being optimized with the FS18. 

Work for this season is in progress – right round the clock.

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology 

KA-RaceIng 

Hello together, we are KA-RaceIng and we want to say sorry 

for this teampage. As always we decided to write this text one 

hour before the deadline, just to realise that the deadline is two 

days later, if we would just listen to our COO once… 

“Calendar!” But enough of our ability to read dates, lets introduce our better half. 

With our new electric car, we decided to change everything. New chassis, new 

drivetrain, new suspension, hv-accumulator and tires. The only thing that stayed the 

same are basically our drivers, even though some of them are a little bit heavier than 

last year. With our new motor, we decided to take a step back with rpm just to push 

the torque value, our hv-accumulator got completely new types of stacks 

for more capacity, our cooling system got some beautiful weight 

reduction and our suspension team built a sweet system 

without an anti roll bar. All this in a new spreadtow 

chassis… we basically built a fast chessboard with an 

heave - roll system and the best aerodynamic 

package we ever had. 

As you may know, we are not an electric team, we are “one team – 

three cars”. We are a team full of love for our project, passion for 

motorsport and also the needed craziness and fun to push through long 

nights. Last year we were second with our electric car, this year we are 

back with two better cars, motivated to fight for first places all over again. 

Feel free to visit us in our Pit, talk to us and you will realise that we are 

happy students who enjoy each second we can spend at one of our cars. 

To summarize it, we love that we are able to do what we are doing, 

competing in the Formula Student. And even though we had to spent 

night after night fixing bugs and mistakes, we love every part of our 

KIT18e.

produced a prototype to compete in 

various Formula Student competitions 

in Europe every year. After having built 

three cars powered by combustion 

engines, AMZ has moved forward to 

developing electric racing cars since 

2010. The association is financially independent 

and supported by numerous 

financial, manufacturing and parts 

sponsors as well as institutes of various 

Swiss universities. AMZ is the first Swiss 

team in Formula Student. 

The active team counts approximately 

35 people, backed by the crucial 

support of their alumni. In 2017, AMZ 

finished the season at the top of FSE 

rankings. 

AMZ’s twelfth car - eiger - cap- 

tivates with innovation through and 

through. It is the result of more than 

eight months of development time, 

countless sleepless nights and the 

single intention of a team to be successful 

through innovation. 

We look forward to competing with 

the whole formula student community 

this summer!

The tenth racecar of TU Wien Racing, the EDGE10, features a lot of technical 

refinements in comparison to last year’s vehicle. 

The improved aeropackage, which includes rearwing, frontwing and 

venturi-tunnels, enable us to generate even more downforce. 

Our self-developed inverter has also been updated and is working great in 

combination with our two self-developed motors. 

With those and a lot more updates and improvements, the EDGE10 is our 

most advanced racecar yet.

and manufacturing a single-seater. The most recent race car is 

the G18e, also called Mary. It is the second all-wheel-driven electric 

race car of the team. This season was not only about fixing quirks of our last race car, but also 

to push innovation and design improvement. We not only optimized our race car, but also the 

structures of our team so we could work as efficiently as possible. Last season we got a handful of 

top 3 places, even though we worked with a new concept that no team member has worked with 

before. The season of 2018 will be even more exciting and we hope to surpass our expectations!

The G18e has a whole new battery concept. We went from using pouch cells to round cells and 

with that we could implement our self-developed battery management system. The aerodynamic 

concept was optimized with the implementation of a drag-reduction-system and sidepods. For 

the CFRP monocoque chassis we used aluminum honeycombs for the first time and because of 

selective laser sintering the stabilizer bridge of our suspension was able to get topology-optimized.

Our team “Strohm + Söhne e.V.” from TH Nürnberg was founded in the year 2011. Since then 

we constantly evolve our NoRa. This season we developed our fifth racecar. Because of many 

new challenges we decided to run a two years concept. During this period, we constructed, 

designed, tested and built our new racecar with 35 motivated team members. Now we can 

present an aluminium monocoque with all-wheel-drive motors and many new developments 

like a complete new designed suspension. Furthermore, we are really proud of your selfdesigned 

PCBs like the Battery Management System, Smart Sensors and 16 other PCBs, which 

we optimize each year. 

Now we proudly present our NoRa5!

Revolve NTNU is finally back at FSA! We are Norway’s northernmost team, and this year 

we are competing with our new electrical beast, ATMOS. This is a product of 

approximately 50 students coming together, hard work and creativity. We are excited to 

see how well we can perform this summer at Red Bull Ring in Austria. 

This year, we have many great new solutions. Our carbon fiber monocoque got a totally 

new design - it is now smaller, more aero friendly and every system can be tightly 

packed inside the chassis. The aerodynamics has also gotten more extreme this year. 

During our production period we produced over 100 elements in light carbon fiber, so we 

can get maximal traction to the course in every event. 

Inside the car you can find over 38 self-designed PCB’s, every single one of them produced in 

Trondheim. Combining all our PCB’s you will see a neat field of wires, going from the rear to the front 

of our car. Not only do we have over 60 PCB’s, but the car also has over 300 sensors. If that isn’t 

amazing, I don’t know what is. Being able to read all of the information is crucial. Therefore, we have 

made several changes to our self-developed software program, Revolve Analyze. Here our members 

can get live data from testing and during competitions. This way we can monitor our car all the way 

to the finish line. 

Do we even need to talk about our suspension system? Of Course! We have 3D printed uprights in 

titanium, topology optimized carbon fiber rims and carbon fiber tubes connecting the suspension 

system to our monocoque. Since 2016, we have been producing cars with 4WD and this year is no 

exception. Inside each wheel we have AMK motors, enabling us to steer each wheel independently. 

If you want to know more about our car, come see us in our pit or grab hold of one of our members!

THE TEAM 

Monash Motorsport is a student-run team comprised of 

over 100 students that work collaboratively in technical, 

business and management aspects. 

Our team vision is to be the most respected Formula 

Student team in the world. 

As a part of this vision, we developed our first ever 

electric vehicle in 2017 along with our 18th combustion 

vehicle and achieved overall first with both cars in the 

2017 Australasian competition. 

In 2018, we made the decision to bring both cars to 

Europe to compete on the global stage with some of 

the best teams in the world. 

We’re super excited to be competing in Formula 

student Austria again and we can’t wait to see you all!

CM-18e is the second formula student vehicle by the 

team of DHBW Mannheim. It is built to compete in 

the Formula Student Electric class of the 2018 season. 

After building the first formula student car with a new 

team last year, the main goal for this year was to improve 

every single part for building a reliable car, which is 

competitive to similar teams. 

„PEDAL SCALING“ AS UNIQUE FEATURE

system 

Pedal Scaling is a real time indication of the accelerator 

and brake pedals.Designed and tested in motorsports 

and implemented into the daily traffic on roads it leads 

to quicker reaction times and adaption to other road 

users. Think about it! 

EVERYBODY 

CURE, founded in 2012, is the biggest student project at the 

Cooperative State University in Mannheim. Started as a part of 

Project Engineering studies CURE has grown to a range of more 

than 20 different courses at our university. Combining these 

studies we have created a platform of economical knowledge 

and engineering expertise. 

Our greatest challenge is to achieve the best performance in our 

studies and the professions we pursue at our partner companies 

parallel to our studies – both while pushing this race car project 

forward. This is why everybody in our team has to be an organizational 

talent and this is the reason why we will succeed.

After last year’s fire that destroyed our dreams for FSA 2017, we 

started project phoenix, put all energy into renovating our workshop 

and regaining the lost equipment. Thanks to the support from our 

sponsors and fellow FS teams we were able to recover from the 

severe setback and embraced the opportunity to start all over again 

with a completely new concept. Now we are back on track with allwheel 

drive, aerodynamics, 3-damper concept and a lot of other 

fancy high-tech, ready to surpass the expectations.

Formula Student Team Delft consists of 80 team members from nine different faculties of 

the university. Since 2014 Formula Student Team Delft is famous for her lightweight 

concept four-wheel driven electric car. This year the innerwheel design, a single stage 

planetary transmission inside the wheel, is further development making it more efficient, 

lightweight and less complex. The self-developed pcb’s made it possible to prepare the 

cars for the harsh endurance and autocross conditions as best as possible. Our less 

complex, lightweight suspension optimises grip in all dynamic events. 

Also, a completely new chassis shape has been chosen to aid the new aerodynamic 

devices. The aerodynamic devices where validated in the windtunnel, showing promising 

results. Together with our custom made tires, we believe we have a very competitive 

tractor.

RWTH Aachen University 

Ecurie Aix, the Formula Student Team at RWTH Aachen University, was founded in 1999. The 

name „Ecurie Aix“ is a reference to the team’s home base in the German city of Aachen, which 

is located right at the borders to Belgium and the Netherlands. The word „Ecurie“ means 

„Racing Stable“ or „Racing Team“ in french and has been chosen in respect to a very 

successful Belgian motorsport team named Ecurie Francorchamps. The word „Aix“ is derived 

from Aachen’s French name: Aix-la-Chapelle.

For 2018 we built an evolutionary car which is derived from last year. The concept is based on 

a single piece monocoque with four electric motors. In order to make the car more reliable we 

redesigned only a few parts completely but stuck with the concept of our eace06. The most 

obvious changes were made by the aerodynamics and cooling department. The side covers 

with so called chimneys are not only a genuine eye catcher, but they also heavily improved the 

mass flow through the radiators. 

In our fourth appearance we hope to build on the successes from the previous years, since we 

took a trophy home to Aachen every time we went to FS Austria.
