Formula Student Austria Recap

Formula Student Austria Recap

• Tim Schüle

At Formula Student Austria in Spielberg, our competition season continued with the next event. Our pink livery, which had originally been created as an April Fool’s joke, was brought to life specifically for this event and made its first appearance on the track together with the matching teamwear. The new look was also a special highlight for the team throughout the event.

In the static disciplines, we achieved solid results. Our strongest performance was in the Engineering Design Event, where we secured 3rd place.

On the track in Spielberg, we faced several challenges. Due to issues during the Rain Test, we were unable to participate in Skidpad and Acceleration, resulting in the loss of points. With the support of other teams, however, we were able to resolve the issue and subsequently return to the dynamic disciplines.

Even more encouraging were our results in Autocross and Endurance. With 2nd place in Autocross and 3rd place in Efficiency, we were able to achieve strong results despite the challenges we faced.

In the end, we achieved 7th place in the overall standings.

Despite the setback, we took away many valuable experiences from Spielberg. As a team, we never gave up, learned from the challenges we faced, and gave it our all until the very end.
