Team Details

The team's name is derived from the Faculty of Applied Sciences' abreviation FAN which shares its letter string with the clever and powerful animal. Founded in 2004, Elefant Racing competes in Germany for the fifth time. After having achieved higher places in static competitions for marvelous engineering design, this year's focus lays on reliability and maintainability combined with moderate evolution. Using experiences collected in over five years of development this season's vehicle features concepts developed in the past seasons as well as finely tuned successors whenever needed. Use of advanced composites for all major components as well as an extremely light drive train design combined with flexible electronics results in a car not only light in weight and well to handle, but also assisting the driver whenever possible. As a consequence goal for 2010 is a successful participation in all static and particular dynamic events to achieve a place in the upper midfield.

The team`s name is derived from the Faculty of Applied Sciences` abreviation FAN which shares its letter string with the clever and powerful animal. Founded in 2004, Elefant Racing took part in the 3 European competitions in 2006,2007 and 2008 where it mostly gained places in the upper midfield as wll as some special awards. One central aim has been to not only craete a competetive racecar but also a highly desirable product. With the 2009 FR9 "Fantom" the team wants to tie to the good design results of 2008 and wants to transfer this to the dynamic results. All major structural components are realised advanced composites, electronics offer maximum flexibility and freedom of solution design, drivetrain by many modifications has become light and compact, suspension was developed without any negative influence caused by arbitrary chassis design.
