Info
Zurich UAS Racing proudly presents its newest electric race car: ZUR05. The development work focused on lightweight construction, structural robustness and aerodynamic efficiency. ZUR05 features a redesigned TSAC made of aramid composite, a reengineered suspension with custom dampers and carbon-titanium components, and a newly developed aero package achieving high downforce with minimal drag. The cooling system has also been optimized with a single-pump layout and custom 3D-printed components.
Engineering Design Priorities:
reliability
validation
serviceability
modularity
manufacturability
weight reduction

Info
Zurich UAS Racing is the fourth and newest team based in Switzerland. In 2021, we have built, tested and attended an event with our 1st racecar. This 2nd iteration comes with many improvements, such as switching to wheel hub motors, including a full aerodynamic package and much more. With this year's DV rule changes, we've also already fully embedded our DV systems into the racecar. Being such a young team, we encounter plenty of challenges, which we can only surmount thanks to our sponsors!
