Raceyard Kiel, the northernmost of the German FS teams, started to participate in the FS events in 2006. The team made an impressive debut to the Hockenheim ring being crowned “best newcomer” in this event. In 2010, the team completed its most successful season so far, finishing 9th at Silverstone. Over the years we have acquired a lot of knowledge which drives our motivation to improve our results every year. Despite being a relatively small university, we have proven that our team is a Top 10 contender and we have worked hard to prove this point again in 2011. New developments on our “T-Kiel A ’11” include an innovative intake system, which features a fully variable inlet port geometry in order to maximise the torque output over the whole rev band. This contributes towards the driveability of the car, but also improves the fuel consumption. We are confident that these developments can establish our team among the top five international competing universities. We are looking forward to the 2011 competition series and wish good luck to every team for FS UK 2011. We would like to invite you all to visit our pit for further information
