Info
HorsePower Hannover founded in 2007 is the Formula Student Team of the University of Hannover in Lower Saxony, Germany.After having some technical difficulties in the last year’s season we start this year with the second car of our team and hope to improve our result.Because we have at least three times as many members than in 2009, we had enough manpower to design a whole new car. Improvements of the RH10 have been made in nearly every component. The most important ones are completely new suspension kinematics, a lighter tubular steel space frame, a pneumatic clutch system and more powerful Yamaha YZF-R6 engine. Also the body work was totally redesigned to get a more individual and recognizable appearance.We are really looking forward to this event and are full of belief and hope to having more success this year.
