The team BRS Motosport was founded in 2007 and we have participated with our cars since 2009. Our team consits of 60 students from all faculties from the University of Applied Science Bonn-Rhein-Sieg. We are proud to be part of the Formula Student event in Silverstone for the first time. For our car [dzi:] 11, we developed some very nice parts. In order to reduce the unsprung mass we developed carbon fibre a-arms, wheel hubs made from titanium, and forged aluminum rims made form Otto Fuchs KG with a weight of only 2.4 kg. We optimised our frame to be stiffer, lighter, safer and to integrate all mountings into the structure to get a better force flow and to make the fabrication easier. We also advanced our engine and drivetrain package, we modified our air intake system, the cylinderhead, all bearings inside the engine and the drivetrain to get maximum power to the wheels and to the ground.
