Team Description

HAWKS Racing was founded in 2003 and participates in various Formula Student events since 2004.

This year we are designing and building our fifth high voltage electrical driven race car, the H21.

Currently, we are about 50 students from different specialties, working on the project in interdisciplinary groups.
We are looking forward to an awesome season and the upcoming FS-Events in 2026!

Car #69 H21 - Nihaya
Info
With H21, Nihaya, HAWKS Racing presents it‘s 21st racecar. With last year's car, the H20, we developed a new generation of electric cars and set the foundation for this year. After last years success, we have now focused on realizing the concept's full potential. With the implementation of our autonomous system and the fine tuning of control systems, we aim to keep the pace at this years competitions.
Engineering Design Priorities:
Performance Reliability Data Analysis Controll Systems Autonomous driving Always keep it 69!

HAWKS Racing's 19th racecar, NOVA, is finally ready to show you how she performs on track! After making the switch to electric in 2021, it's now our third year of driving electric. This year, for the first time in HAWKS history, we will be competing autonomously at an event. In addition to the autonomous system, simulation and validation were also important to us this season in order to get the best out of our car.

Last year we proved that electric cars don't have to be quiet. With our second electric vehicle "Nayra" we'll try to take it up a step and bring some more noise to the track. The eighteenth car built by HAWKS Racing inherits all of the history of the Team in true 69 spirit (even if the car number says something different). With a revised drive train concept and newly developed embedded systems we want to attack once again, even without a driver.
