University of Stavanger

ION Racing is the now the largest student project at the University of Stavanger consisting of 50 students from various programs, primarily from electrical and mechanical engineering.

Weight reduction and improved aerodynamics as well as better overall performance has been the key focus of ION Racing this year. Our car features a carbon fibre monocoque, titanium wheel hubs, carbon fibre suspension and a new lighter accumulator. We also manufactured our own carbon fibre rims with aluminium centres and designed a much lighter tractive system than last years car. This summer we want to show everyone that we strive to challenge ourselves by creating something that is both faster and more agile than before, but still keeping a timeless and beautiful design. Using calculations and our engineering skills we have made a fast, lightweight car with high down force, and high stiffness. It is also reliable and safe, thanks to our amazing team, and our amazing sponsors.
