Dampers (Shock Absorbers)

The idea of Formula Student Germany is for the students to assume that a company instructed them to build a prototype of a race car aimed toward the nonprofessional weekend autocrosser and for a production of 1000 cars a year.  Accordingly, the competition handles all aspects from engineering design over cost estimation up to road capability. For this purpose, the competition is subdivided into dynamic and static events. Overall there can be achieved 1.000 points in eight disciplines.

Static Events: Design Event, Cost Report, Presentation Event Dynamic Events: Acceleration, Skid Pad, Autocross, Endurance and Fuel Economy

The Formula Student - Academy is the framework which will support you while fighting for and within the Formula Student Germany. Concentrating on workshops and events during the year we will create a platform which enables you to meet and learn with and from other teams and experts from  industry. Please see and use below the unique opportunities we created together with our partners. Create your engineering future.

Formula Student challenges the team members to go the extra step in their education by incorporating into it intensive experience in building and manufacturing as well as considering the economic aspects of the automotive industry. Teams take on the assumption that they are a manufacturer developing a prototype to be evaluated for production. The target audience is the non-professional Weekend-Racer, for which the racecar must show very good driving characteristics such as acceleration, braking and handling. It should be offered at a very reasonable cost, and be reliable and dependable. Additionally, the car’s market value increases through other factors such as aesthetics, comfort and the use of readily available, standard purchase components. The ficticious manufacturer plans to produce 1000 cars each year at a maximum price of 25.000 Dollar.

The Society of Automotive Engineers has more than 84,000 members - engineers, business executives, educators, and students from more than 97 countries - who share information and exchange ideas for advancing the engineering of mobility systems. SAE is your one-stop resource for standards development, events, and technical information and expertise used in designing, building, maintaining, and operating self-propelled vehicles for use on land or sea, in air or space.

VDI The Association of German Engineers is a financially independent and politically unaffiliated, non-profit organization of 126,000 engineers and natural scientists. More than 12,000 of these members work for the VDI in an honorary capacity.
Established in 1856, the VDI is today the largest engineering association in Western Europe. In Germany, it is recognized as the representative of engineers both within the profession and in the public arena. As the leading institution for training and technology transfer among experts, it is also a partner at the preliminary stages of the decision-making process in matters of technological policy and for all questions that engineers face in their professional or public lives. www.vdi.de/vdi/english/
