The F20 aka Eva, is the 12th combustion race car of our team. With 74 hp and 63 Nm, the F20 is the most powerful vehicle in FaSTDa history. Through new production methods, such as the use of pre-preg or the switch to low-profile tires, we were able to reduce our overall weight by more than 20 kg compared to the previous model.With 50 team members from more than 10 study programs, the team is more diverse than ever and therefore was able to prepare for all disciplines with lots of motivation.
Engineering Design Priorities:
light weight

Our car, the F18, is a completely new invention. For the first time ever, we designed and manufactured a carbon fiber monocoque instead of a steel grid frame. In addition, there were inevitable changes to the chassis, aerodynamics and ergonomics. Now, we are ready to compete with the best teams of the world and looking forward for a great event! A special thanks goes to our supporters, who make this amazing experience possible!

"Evolution instead of revolution" - the motto of this year's racecar engineered and built by FaSTDa Racing. Our new F16 is based on its predecessor and packed with a bunch of technical highlights. Our main goal for 2016 was to improve existing designs rather than to reinvent them. With better aerodynamics, an improved suspension and our modified single-cylinder engine we plan to race with the best!A special thanks goes to our sponsors and supporters, who make this amazing experience possible!

F15: 10 inch, full aerodynamic package, custom engine and adjustable ergonomics. These are the words that describe this years’ F15 the best! With a motivated team that mixed old and experienced members with young and spirited newcomers we are prepared to give our best on FSG2015! Unlike the other teams, we have a few years of experience with the trending single-cylinder engines which we will prove on the race track. A big thank you to our sponsors who made this beautiful car possible!

Info
This year the Formula Student Team Darmstadt (FaSTDa) is taking part in the annual event of Formula Student Germany for the second time with its completely new racing car, "F12". Our last year achievements, perfectly established and shown in Italy 2011, were significant weight reduction, up to 190 kg approximately (-10% compared to cars of the previous years), with an increase in engine power and torque. Consequently we have improved our vehicle with innovative components. Those characteristic features are the following: completely revamped suspension geometry with carbon fiber A-Arms and bespoke upright/wheel hubs, an optimized tube frame with increased stiffness, plus a custom pedal unit and steering wheel for the high-level driver ergonomics. The whole team appreciates much internal help and would like to sincerely thank all our sponsors for the great support this year! Regards FaSTDa

Info
The Formula Student Team Darmstadt (FaSTDa) will attend this year's Formula Student Germany event for the first time with its completely new race car, the "F10". Despite a budget cut by nearly 70% and a reduction of man-power we were able to design and build a completely new vehicle. Our major achievements were a significant weight reduction down to approximately 250kg (-20% compared to last year’s car) and an increase in engine power and torque. Furthermore, the vehicle features a variety of innovative components, such as a completely revamped suspension geometry with carbon fiber A-Arms and bespoke uprights/wheel hubs, an optimized tube frame with increased stiff-ness and a custom pedal unit and steering wheel for top-level driver ergonomics.The whole team would like to thank all our sponsors for this year's great support!Regards FaSTDa
