The OWL Racing-Team is a young team, established in 2008. Our first car, the OWL 09 (named after the region our school is located in) finished as the best newcomer on the FS event in Italy 2009. Driven by our passion and determination to achieve success, based on this experience our team has developed the new concept, the OWL 1.1, while implementing a number of advancements and interesting technical solutions in every aspect of the car. In 2011, we’ve set ourselves new goals. Having reinforced the team with new dedicated students from a variety of fields, we want to place our car under the top 20 of the event in Silverstone and Varano.
Specifically for this year’s car, we’ve designed a variable intake runner system with our acclaimed iris diaphragm used as the throttle. Moreover, our long term plan is to manufacture an affordable high performance competitive car. Therefore, we always try to get the most efficient parts for every aspect of the car. It’s also important for us to involve ourselves in the production as much as possible. We are convinced that this is the best way to follow the spirit and purpose of FS and to prepare the team members as well as possible for their future careers.
