The TUfast Racing Team from Munich (Bavaria) consists of 75 team members who design and build two race cars each season (E + C) as one team.
This year’s TUfast combustion race car, the nb016, has been created with the focus on aerodynamics, lightweight design and agility.
To reach the really ambitious targets for the aerodynamic devices a lot of effort has been put into the CFD simulation and the aero-optimized design of the car. In context of optimizing a main part of the front axle package has been shifted to the inside of the monocoque.
The nb016 has a weight of 155kg with the lightweight single-cylinder engine KTM EXC 500.
Even if it is often really stressful and intense we always try to keep the fun. To do so at the competition we always bring a lot of a Bavarian speciality with us. So always feel free to visit us at the campsite.
