Team Profile:-
The Kaiserslautern Racing Team was founded in 2007 as the team of the Technical University. In 2008 we start with the first first-year car with monocoque at the Formula Student competitions.
Since the beginning of 2010 we are also officially working together with the UAS Kaiserslautern.
After building four combustion cars we developed our first electric car for last year’s competition on basis of the slightly adapted combustion chassis. This year we made a huge step and designed a completely new monocoque and kinematics for better being able to deal with the specific problems of an electrically driven car. The accumulator concept got a little more progressiv and was also completely manufactured by ourselves this year. Our concept furthermore includes several improvements in the two motors that drive the rear wheels as well as in the inverters controlling them and that have been programmed to realize an electric differential.
