Team Description
High-Voltage Motorsports e.V. is the Formula Student Team of the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. Founded in 2007 as High-Octane Motorsports e.V. we have successfully participated in many competitions all over Europe. As a part of the Formula Student Combustion until 2020, we decided to join the Formula Student Electric in 2021. Hoping to be crowned with success, we are looking forward to a great season!

2024
Info
We are High-Voltage Motorsports e.V., the Formula Student Team from the University of Erlangen. 2007 founded under the Name High-Octane Motorsports e.V., we started to build our first racecar and with the complete change to electric cars in 2022 we renamed the club this season. Our car features a RWD powertrain as well as a an active suspension and a lightweight CFRP monocoque. Additionally our vehicle is equiped with a set of stereo cameras as well as a lidar for a good driverless performance.
Engineering Design Priorities:

2023
Info
Using our previously gained experience with our first successful EV car, we are excited to show off our second iteration with the FAUmax Pi. At the beginning of this season, we decided to focus on the following fields: maximize our testing time by keeping stuck to the schedule, a lightweight design, reliability, aerodynamic performance, and testing time. We are thrilled to present and power up our car in this year's events.
