For the current Formula Student season of 2011, the Ignition Racing Team optimised the IR X. Founded in 2006, the team now starts with its new racing car into the fifth season. Thanks to the support of our team members we were able to design and manufacture the IR X.
10 students majoring in different courses analysed but also optimised and solved the defects and problems from last year. The result is a car that is not only faster and lighter but also satisfies with its easy maintenance. We optimised our self-constructed chassis from last year’s season considering its weight and shape. Due to a longer testing period we reached some of our main goals: Optimisation concerning weight and reliability. We continuously work on the improvement of our results. Due to our increased efficiency rates we expect to improve our performance from last year. The team is looking forward to the upcoming racing season and strives for successful results.
