Team Details

We have built our Formula student car to build a car which is a harmony from weight, performance, driving dynamics and functionality. The frame is from structural steel, loads last around the high one to withstand the journey.All other parts were established from very light materials like aluminum or Carbon. We have decided to obstruct Suzuki 4 time engine with 600 cc and 85 hp. Injection, intake and exhaust system developed themselves, manufactured and coordinated completely.Many parts, such as pedal system, rear wing, chain adjuster, drive shafts and shock absorber, were developed, manufactured and then tested in the workshops university of their own completely themselves.

The Black Forest Formula Team from UAS Offenburg founded in 2004, is working hand in hand with the BA Horb since last year. This year the team strength is about 20 members, distributed nearly equal to both locations. The UAS Offenburg and BA Horb offers the whole range of branches for a project like that, from mechanical engineering to business administration, media engineering just as well as electrical engineering. So we are in favour to have all competences that a team needs.The Black Forest Formula team which is now participating the fourth time, retains to its roots to build an absolutely reliable racecar, so the car for 2008 has also, untypical for Formula Student cars, long wheelbase in consequence of keeping the front suspension in front of the drivers’ feet. We are looking forward to the events this year and hope to attract interest with our “unconventional” handsome racing car. At this point we want to thank all our sponsors for their support that make this possible!
