Team Profile:
The UPBracing Team e.V. was founded in 2006 by seven engineering students. The PX214 is the eighth step in the ongoing process of increasing the performance of our cars. This year our car comes with a new aerodynamic package, 10” tires and a hybrid chassis. By means of those new parts we are going to improve the cornering speed of the PX214 by increasing the maximum transmittable lateral force. Following the famous slogan ‘to finish first you have to finish first’ the main goal was to increase the reliability of our car while maintaining low weight and high efficiency. We have also put a lot of effort in the analysis of the vehicle dynamics with a self-developed measurement system. The UPBracing Team consists of 40 students from different faculties and semesters. We are a self-organised Formula student Team with young highly motivated members. Our passion for motorsports and engineering motivates us to go the extra mile and act beyond our obligations. The PX214 is a further milestone in the history of the UPBracing Team. In the long run we want to compete with the best teams around the world.
