The Saar Racing Team consists of 25 students. We designed and built our 5th car, the SRC05 (Saar Racing Car 05). The goal of the 5th season was to design a car, which has a good drivability, reliability and low weight. Because of the various engine problems in the past we decided this year to use the four-cylinder in-line engine of a Honda CBR 600RR. To compensate for the higher weight of the new engine we tried to reduce the weight of the other parts. We reorganised the team structure due to the fact that many new members joined our team. We managed to reduce the manufacturing costs and time. Our racing car was built more manufacturing friendly. We tried to complete the car very early, to have enough time for testing and tuning our car. This season, we are trying to get a better placing in the dynamic events, but we are also concentrating on the static events, to reach a better overall placement.
