Team Description

StarkStrom Augsburg e.V. is the Formula Student Team of the University of Applied Sciences Augsburg, founded in 2010. Since our foundation the fascination for motorsports and racing has been unbroken. Our development process has been fast and evolutionary, presenting a monocoque after only one year of Formula Student experience. After adding aerodynamic components in our third year of competition, we achieved an impressive 12th place overall in Formula Student Germany. In 2015 we built our most successful rear-wheel drive car, which finished 10th overall at FSG, and took on the challenge of an all-wheel drive car in 2016. After some setbacks that came with this drive revolution, we came back even stronger as a team. In 2021, our electric vehicle achieved amazing results: We finished three Endurances, taking home trophies not only in dynamics but also in statics. We also participated in the Driverless competition from day one and finished among the top teams in autonomous racing with a second place at FSG21 and a first place at FS ATA 2021. But then we achieved the biggest win in the team's history: We were the overall winner of the 2022 FSG Driverless Cup, with 3 firsts and one second in the dynamic DV events, and a first in the cost and manufacturing event. In 2023 we won the FS East Driverless competition and finished in the top 5 in the FSG Driverless Cup. For FSG24, our goal is to build on this, even with a smaller team, by doing what we have proven to be good at: Building reliable, working racecars and laying a solid foundation for new innovations.

For the 2025 season, StarkStrom refined and developed their race car with a strong focus on reliability and performance. The brand new chassis at the core of the vehicle is designed to efficiently house both reworked and freshly constructed parts. The suspension was simplified to provide more versatility and the autonomous system underwent a significant revision. To round off the total concept, traction was improved by refined power delivery control and a complete aerodynamics update.

After the success of the previous season, it was of course part of this year's goals of StarkStrom Augsburg e.V. to build on this. However - as a smaller team - you don't always have the resources to reinvent the wheel every year. Accordingly, the main goal of the 2023 season is to close existing knowledge gaps, eliminate known flaws of the car and thus continue to do what was proven last season as the own strength: Building a reliable racecar and being prepared for every possible situation.

Taking one step further was a crucial part of the 2022 season. The starting signal was given for the new development of our wheel assembly, planned as a 2-year project. The system for the 2022 vehicle was developed as an evolution of the 2021 vehicle, by optimizations and error elimination from the previous season. On top, the autonomous software was revised, intensively tested and the challenge to integrate the autonomous system into our manual vehicle within one year was mastered.

Evolution instead of revolution quickly turned in revolution for the yet unnamed electric vehicle UASA2108 of StarkStrom Augsburg. The mechanical parts of StarkStrom’s 8th car were strongly revised and optimized, especially in the area of all CFRP parts. The electrical area of the vehicle also underwent decisive improvements with focus on our redesigned accumulator. The team is extremely proud that despite the challenges caused by Covid-19 our car is ready to perform at Formula Student Events.

This seasons car is named Silencio, according to a character from Augsburger Puppenkiste.The change from a rear driven drive to a four wheel drive was not the only big step in our associations history. Additionaly we made our monocoque with prepreg carbon fibre and aluminum honeycomb. Our Suspension takes advantage of a third-spring system. A novality in our electronic system is the use of ethernet for communication. Furthermore we included sensor fusion algorithms in our dynamic systems.

Starkstrom Augsburg participates this year with the fourth race car in history of the association. The Car is named "Cedur", after a character of the "Augsburger Puppenkiste". This season the main target was to get a highly reliable and well tested car. Therefore we improved our construction and manufacturing process, because we are producing a huge amount of parts by ourselves. As remarkable novelties of "Cedur" should be named the DRS, the own developed AMS and the new power train.

Due to the big development that we made with our previous car, we are proud to participate again with a significant improved car. The monocoque of our third car is built with a new layer structure and a tailor made nose crash structure. Furthermore we designed our first aerodynamic bodywork. The biggest electrical development is the implementation of torque vectoring and traction control. Thereby we were able to improve our electronic stability control system to a great extend.

This year we are at the Hockenheimring for the second time, and we can proudly say, we improved our skills and our operating range to a higher level. We constructed our first monocoque and manufactured it in our workshop by vacuum infusion. Such an achievement cannot be taken for granted from a team in the second year; The motivation and commitment shown is impressive. Next to the machanical parts our electrical system made substantial progress as well. Most parts of the tractive system remained unchanged so here we could build on our accomplishments from last year. Big innovations were made in the LV-System by the transmission of each signal by CAN-Bus, and the implementation of an error memory which monitors the systems and detects their failures. Most of the hardware and software is selfmade. Only the controlunit is still realised on a Mikroautobox. We confidently look forward to the competition and would like to thank all our sponsors and our university for the great support.

The 2012 Formula Student Germany competition is the first appearance of StarkStrom Augsburg, the racing team of the University of Applied Sciences Augsburg. We spend the last 20 months with not only building up our first car but also with organizing everything for a Formula Student team from the beginning. As a rookie we planned to build a rugged race car with nice features. Therefore we build a compact car with a steel space frame and two three-phase synchronous machines. Our low center of gravity leads to low inertia and yawing moment around the vertical axis. With the bodywork we wanted to create a modern redesign of the famous race cars from the 1930’s. At the end we can say that we are all proud of our first race car – ASRAEL. Nevertheless we want to say “Thank You” to all of our sponsors for supporting us in the last 20 months.
