“Complete! Finish! Win!” This is our motto which we have kept alive for the past eleven years.

Our eleventh car, the “F0711-11” tries to come back to its’ roots and the agenda established in 2005. Long approved systems are combined with innovative technologies as the reliability is priority number one. The chassis consists of a CFRP-monocoque and a steel tube rear frame to ease maintenance on engine- and drivetrain parts as well as the rear frames’ wiring harness.

To increase the performance and to reduce lap time we developed a new aerodynamic package supported by a new arrangement of the engine periphery to gain Down force. Furthermore an optimised heave-spring-suspension supports the aerodynamics in tight corners as well as at high speeds.

The 2016 team and its’ structure is designed to have a flat hierarchy. Our chief engineer is responsible for the design, production and looks over the five technical sub teams namely engine, suspension, chassis, drivetrain and electrical system. Additionally our chairman represents the team as whole and takes care of business matters and sponsor acquisition while the head of organization is making sure deadlines are taken into consideration and is responsible for the marketing, information exchange and finances.
