Info
We are RUB Motorsport, the Formula Student Team from Ruhr University in Bochum, Germany. For the season 2016 we decided to build a racecar with an all-encompassing aerodynamic package, which harmonizes with the cars suspension to ensure an overall great driving behavior. Together with the new engine concept we make sure to have an competetive package this season. We would like to thank all of our sponsors as well as university for their support, because this wouldn’t be possible without them.

Info
We are RUB Motorsport, the Formula Student Team from the Ruhr University in Bochum, Germany. With our new hand-optimized frame and well thought-through suspension, we emphasize on reliability and endurance in this year's competition. Furthermore a new airbox has been designed to push the car's parameters closer to the theoretical limit. We set a high value on careful computer aided design of the car, which enabled us to work with new renowned partners from industry. With their support we are confident to reach the goals, that have been set by the team, like for example building a solid base for the next season to build upon. We would like to use this opportunity to thank all of our sponsors as well as the university for their financial and technical support, that opened the doors to Formula Student for RUB Motorsport.

Car #25
Info
Since last season the team of RUB Motorsport has tripled in size, so that the number of club members is increased up to 25 students. As there has been substantial progress in several areas such as improved cooperation in manufacturing, we worked out to unify high quality materials and smart constructions. Our team members are highly motivated to put the finishing touches to our next generation car. We look forward to present the RUBin 2012 this summer at FSA and FSG. Moreover the cooperation with the Ruhr-University Bochum is growing more and more. In the summer term 2012 the mechanical engineering department offers a seminar held by RUB Motorsport. This seminar deals with the CAD tool “Solid Works”. Further possibilities for students to incorporate there interest for motorsport in there curriculum are for example thesis. In this case experienced staff members provide support and assist students on there way. Hopefully, our hard work will result in successful races this season.
