Info
The DUT23 is the newest car in our collection. It will be our first car capable of both human and autonomous driving. A revised aerodynamics package has been implemented, which includes active aerodynamics, a new drag reduction system design, and an overall emphasis on improving downforce around corners using cornering simulations. Our cells have undergone thorough testing to perform in every possible environment, and our self-designed motor controllers have been optimized for greater efficiency

Info
The DUT22 is the 21st car built by our team. We have done driverless before but for the first time, the car is designed to work with and without a driver. We have emphasized consistency by focusing on reliability and drivability. The autonomous systems are packaged so as not to inhibit the drivers' ability to extract performance and we have continued development of our self-designed motor controllers to make them as reliable as possible.

2013
Info
The Delft University of Technology (DUT) Racing Team consists of seventy students from different faculties of the TU Delft. The team has a record of building lightweight and agile cars. The last two years, the team took on the challenge of taking the lightweight concept to the electric racing class and implementing full torque vectoring with four-wheel-drive. This year, we integrated aerodynamics in the overall concept of the car. The DUT13 is the result of 12 years of experience, a systemic approach in design and project management and a year of hard work. By combining four-wheel-drive, aerodynamics and advanced control systems whilst sticking true to the Delft Concept (Lightweight, efficient and fast!) the team has been able to design their most competitive car so far. With features such as regenerative braking, slip ratio control, torque vectoring and a wing-shaped underbody the DUT13 is a worthy addition to the DUT Racing fleet.

Info
The Delft University of Technology (DUT) Racing Team consists of sixty students from different faculties of the TU Delft, in the Netherlands. The team is unique in its systematic approach in design and project management. Nine full-time managers, together with fifty-one part-timers, dedicate their whole year on designing and building the second generation electric car, by Delft. The end product is the DUT12. The DUT12 is the first four wheel driven car ever made by the DUT Racing Team. The team started thinking about how the ultimate electric car should look like and found their ways in the focus on lightweight in combination with one motor per wheel. This will take care of an optimal dynamic performance and maximum regenerative braking capabilities, resulting in a fast and more energy efficient car. This is in our opinion the best fulfillment of the Delft Concept: Lightweight, efficient and fast!

Info
After ten successful combustion years, the DUT Racing Team will this year focus on a fully electric Formula Student car. This first electric car has a focus on the end-user, the amateur weekend racer. The design focuses on the needs, demands and limitations of this driver. As such, the car is easy to drive due to a good feel of the throttle, brakes and tires. Also the ergonomics and safety is taken in to account, the car is spacious and al the set-ups are easy to adjust. The beating heart of the car is formed by two electric motors and controllers from AMK Antriebe. These are fed by lithium ion polymer batteries which are placed behind the driver. With a peak power of 55 kW, a total energy of 5.7kWh and a weight of only 180 kilograms the team will show their vision on electric cars. Being a team of over fifty technical students from the TU Delft, the team strives to be one of the top teams in the Class 1A competition in England with their electric car: the DUT11.
