Formula Student Germany

International flair, more than 100 race cars, and competition at a feverish pace: That is the Formula Student Germany, a competition where student teams from around the world compete against each other in various disciplines with their self-constructed race cars. Competition of the car manufacturers of tomorrow: At the "Formula Student Germany", teams of university students from around the world compete against each other with race cars that they have designed and constructed by themselves. The students have one year to prepare for the event: The race cars are designed and constructed by interdisciplinary teams, in which students of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, information technology, and even German studies work hand in hand. The cooperative effort does not only require technical knowledge and design know-how, students also need excellent skills in organization, project management, and cost calculation. Their efforts are rewarded with the participation in a five-day competition at the Hockenheimring, where they can present their car to an expert jury at this famous race track. In addition to the competitions on the race track, the assessment will include the business plan, cost calculation, and marketing strategy. (Picture:campushunter.de)
