Car 23 – 2012
2012
Car #23
Info
The Running Snail Racing Team was established in August 2004. Since then, we have participated in several Formula Student events for 8 years. This year we will take part at the Formula Student Events in England, Germany and Hungary. The racing car RS12 – LC4 continues the concept of a Formula Student car by convincing through best dynamic ability as well as a high level of manufacturing quality. The RS12 is based on the results of the tests and competitions of our first seven cars. Our aim was again to reduce the weight, to keep our high quality standards, give the car a good drivability and reach better ergonomics for the drivers.

Car #26
Info
The Running Snail Racing Team has participated in several Formula Student events for 7 years. The racing car RS11 continues the concept of a Formula Student car by convincing through best dynamic ability as well as a high level of manufacturing quality. Since the team was established in 2004, it has been attending the Formula Student events in England, Germany, Italy and Hungary. For the first time, the team has challenged the FSAE competition in Michigan this year with great success by winning the “Engineering Excellence Award” and presenting the most economical car at this event. The greatest achievements in history are the winning of the "Lightweight Concept Award", the "Most Innovative Powertrain Award" and becoming the overall champion in FS Hungary 2010. According to these results the main goal for the season 2011 is to keep up the car and team performance at this high level.

Car #23
Info
The Running Snail Racing Team was established in August 2004. Since then, we participated with sustained success at the Formula Student Events in England, Germany and Italy. This year we will take part at the Formula Student event in Gyoer (Hungary) for the first time. The RS10-LC4 is our 6th car, based on the results of the tests and competitions of our first five cars. Our aim was again to reduce the weight to now 165 kg (wet), to keep our high quality standards, give the car a good drivability, and reach better ergonomics for the drivers.One of the greatest awards we received so far at the FSG Events, was the Sportsmanship Award in 2008.More information about our team and our cars are available on www.running-snail.de

Car #24
Info
The Running Snail Racing Team was established in August 2004. Since then we participated with sustained success at the Formula Student Events in England, Germany and Italy. And we take the challenge in 2009 also. The RS09-LC4 is our 5th car, the result of the tests and competitions of our first four cars.This year we have completly revolutionised our race car : A-Arms made of carbon tubes, new suspension concept, C/SiC rotors, self made carbon rims and last but not least a new engine. Our goal was again to reduce the weight to now 190 kg (wet), to keep our high quality standards, give the car a good drivability, and reach better ergonomics for the drivers. Beside the racetracks we were active as well. Our four race cars were shown in different exhibitions, company presentations, or the "Partner Cup". This is an event we originated in 2006 to thank our sponsors. They had the chance to drive one of our cars in a SAE level track and to feel what it means to be a race driver.

Info
The Running Snail Racing Team was established in August 2004. Since then we participated with sustained success at the Formula Student Events in England, Germany and Italy. And we take the challenge in 2008. The RS08-FZS is our 4th car and the result of the tests and competitions of our first three cars. On the 4th of June the car was shown to the broad public. Our goal was again to reduce the weight to now 229 kg, to keep up our high quality standards, give the car a good drivability and reach better ergonomics for the drivers. Beside the racetracks we were not inactive. Our three race cars were shown in different exhibitions, firm presentations or the “Partner Cup”. This is an event we originated in 2006 to thank our sponsors. They had the chance to drive one of our cars in an SAE level track and to feel what it means to be a race driver.
