2025

Car #44

Info

Einstein Motorsport, founded in 2006 at the University of Applied Sciences Ulm, consists of 80 dedicated students. With the AL25, our first 4WD race car, we focus on a simple, reliable concept featuring self-developed in-wheel motors, torque vectoring, and a fully integrated autonomous system for all dynamic disciplines.

Car #42

Info

Einstein Motorsport is the Formula Student team from Ulm, Germany, founded in 2006. The series of combustion race cars concluded in 2019 with the AL19 and 22nd place in the world rankings. Since then, the team has been working on its electric-autonomous race car. Last season, the vehicle raced on formula student events for the first time. Now that the first working base exists, the primary focus is on further performance development and issues such as reliability and maintenance.
