Since the foundation of Technikum Mittweida Motorsport (TMM), its a meeting point for motivated students from all faculties of the university, from Engineering to Media, who are interested in motor-racing and follow the common aim in every season: a successful participation in the Formula Student competition.

Going forward together – learning from each other – supporting one another. That´s just the strength of our team: Around 40 people from various courses with so many different mentalities and approaches make up the team, providing many opportunities for new and unusual solutions and ways.

We will improve our concept of our previous year´s motorcar, just as in the past. It´s our aim to reduce the weight of the racing car further and upgrade the engine performance significantly. Therefore, our new frame-construction will help to reach the new weight bare 220kg (from primary 248kg in the last season). In addition to this, our new construction of the airbox in conjunction with exhaust emission will add to the increase in efficiency of our racing car.

“Propulsion made in Mittweida.”
