We are the Lions Racing Team from Brunswick.

This year we will participate in Silverstone and Hockenheim with our all new LR16. For the first time we build a carbon-fibre monocoque driven by 4 electric engines. Every team we asked how their first year with a monocoque went, told us to not underestimate the challenge, but after the rough last season the entire team felt it was time for big changes and we decided to take the challenge. We also decided to go with all-wheel drive instead of rear-wheel drive. From our experiences with 4 electric cars we wanted a good working combination of electric engines and inverter from factory so AMK became our first choice, to deliver the 4 electric engines and inverters. To comply with our ambitious goals we started the season with 3 full time weeks of construction in one of TU Braunschweigs CAD-pools in September and October to have a good start into the season. We really look forward to come back to Silverstone and Hockenheim with a competitive car.
