Back in black! The fifth car - edge5 - from TUW Racing marks a new beginning in car philosophy. Single piece monocoque, 10" wheels, natural aspirated single cylinder KTM LC4 and a decent aerodynamic bodywork mark the cornerstones of this year's car from Vienna. Even though many things have changed, you can immediately hear and see that it is a full member of the edge family.

New car, new design, more horse power, less CFRP (thank you for rule 4.2). We are sticking to our supercharged single cylinder engine, modification of our air intake has made our air flow smoother. We’ve put our core strengths in making this car strong and built to last. We’ve taken the good technology from the last cars and made it even better. See you on the track and greetings from Vienna.

Info
Here we are again, from the city of waltz and borque architecture. We have awaken this old city with the characteristic uproar of our first car the "edge". Now the beating 1-cylinder sound of "edge Mk2" echos through the streets of Vienna, as the 2nd car of TUW-Racing is coming up on the test tracks.From one of the best newcomer teams last year comes a stunning new car with amazing design and outstanding technical solutions: Exotic chassis design featuring a carbon fibre tubular space frame with integrated steering gear and rear torsional springs matches with a sophisticated suspension system, a fully modified single cylinder engine and an own-designed differential housing.The last year held it's ups and downs for us with two DNF's and a 4th overall in Hockenheim. No one (including us) has thought that a newcomer like TUW Racing can establish amongst the top teams of europe. But as the car is more sophisticated our goals are also higher.Beware of "edge Mk2"!

Vienna, city of waltz and baroque architecture, most of the time sleeping and silently dreaming of long-gone times as residence of kings and queens. Someone had to wake up the capitol of Austria, and it was TUW-Racing’s all new first-season-car, the edge, that rudely yelled its loud message into the blue skies of a stunned town: Born in the out-back of the laboratories, designed by a young generation of engineers to present a strong message of progressiveness and a statement of innovativeness.But in all of his newness lies also a bit of the heritage that surrounds every spot of the city. The spirit of greatness in terms of the usage of new materials and the sense for perfection, that centuries ago led architects to their best performances nowadays inherits the makers of edge and let them restlessly bring in their best ideas to succeed in completing the most comprehensive task they’ve ever started with: To present a fast and full of character car to the eyes of Vienna and the world.
