Team Details

Founded in 2008, the Speeding Scientists Siegen participated in 2009 for the first time in a Formula Student competition. With an almost complete new team, consisting of 27 students, the conception of the S3-10 started in autumn 2009.Main target for the new car was to improve blemished parts of the S3-09 and reduce the weight of the car by 15 percent. To get detailed information about the behaviour of the car while driving and recording an accurate load spectrum, the S3-10 has been equipped with several sensors in suspension and drivetrain. This measurement technique is also to pioneer the development of an electric race car for the newly founded FSE competition.The frame is built up as a hybrid construction, consisting of a tubular space frame and a vehicle rear in integral construction. The S3-10 is powered by a Yamaha R6 engine with a student built airbox for improved airflow. A conventional double A-Arm suspension ensures good cornering and a well controllable race car.

In 2009 it is the first time that the Speeding Scientists Siegen team participates in the FSG. Founded in early 2008 we are looking forward to the upcoming event and are very proud to present you our vehicle, the S3-09. Our team consists of 31 students from various courses of studies. The main target of the team was to finish the car to be ready to race as early as possible so that teething troubles could be eliminated prior to the competition. The frame of the S3-09 was built of tubular steel. It`s powered by a Yamaha R6 engine of 2005 and has a double a-arms suspension with unequal lengths at the front and rear. We would like to thank our partners for their trust in our team and their engagement. For further information take a look at www.s3racing.de
