Team Details

The F20 aka Eva, is the 12th combustion race car of our team. With 74 hp and 63 Nm, the F20 is the most powerful vehicle in FaSTDa history. Through new production methods, such as the use of pre-preg or the switch to low-profile tires, we were able to reduce our overall weight by more than 20 kg compared to the previous model.With 50 team members from more than 10 study programs, the team is more diverse than ever and therefore was able to prepare for all disciplines with lots of motivation.

Having gathered knowledge and lots of experience over the past years, the team is aiming higher than ever. To help improve overall performance, we redesigned our monocoque and the aerodynamics package. We're incredibly excited to experience Formula Student Germany once again. Now, we are ready to compete with the best teams of the world and are looking forward to a great event! A special thanks goes to our supporters, who make this amazing experience possible!

Our car, the F18, is a completely new invention. For the first time ever, we designed and manufactured a carbon fiber monocoque instead of a steel grid frame. In addition, there were inevitable changes to the chassis, aerodynamics and ergonomics. Now, we are ready to compete with the best teams of the world and looking forward for a great event! A special thanks goes to our supporters, who make this amazing experience possible!

After a great 12th place at FSG 2016, we're back for more!Building on its successful predecessor, the F17 offers many technical improvements in all areas of the car. New pneumatic shifter, new airbox, new sidepods, new electronics, new steering wheel... the list goes on. With a lighter and more performant car, we're ready to compete with the best teams of the world and look forward to a great event!A special thanks goes to our sponsors and supporters, who make this amazing experience possible!

"Evolution instead of revolution" - the motto of this year's racecar engineered and built by FaSTDa Racing. Our new F16 is based on its predecessor and packed with a bunch of technical highlights. Our main goal for 2016 was to improve existing designs rather than to reinvent them. With better aerodynamics, an improved suspension and our modified single-cylinder engine we plan to race with the best!A special thanks goes to our sponsors and supporters, who make this amazing experience possible!

F15: 10 inch, full aerodynamic package, custom engine and adjustable ergonomics. These are the words that describe this years’ F15 the best! With a motivated team that mixed old and experienced members with young and spirited newcomers we are prepared to give our best on FSG2015! Unlike the other teams, we have a few years of experience with the trending single-cylinder engines which we will prove on the race track. A big thank you to our sponsors who made this beautiful car possible!

„Back to the Roots“ is our this year’s slogan! This means a light and powerful single cylinder combustion-engine and a simple but effective car to challenge the other teams. Our most prominent features are our carbon-fibre rims and many rapid-prototyped parts which allow us to make our car as light as possible.Of course we give a big thank you to our sponsors and supporters who made this beautiful car and the enormous experiences possible!

This year the Formula Student Team Darmstadt (FaSTDa) is taking part in the annual event of Formula Student Germany for the second time with its completely new racing car, "F12". Our last year achievements, perfectly established and shown in Italy 2011, were significant weight reduction, up to 190 kg approximately (-10% compared to cars of the previous years), with an increase in engine power and torque. Consequently we have improved our vehicle with innovative components. Those characteristic features are the following: completely revamped suspension geometry with carbon fiber A-Arms and bespoke upright/wheel hubs, an optimized tube frame with increased stiffness, plus a custom pedal unit and steering wheel for the high-level driver ergonomics. The whole team appreciates much internal help and would like to sincerely thank all our sponsors for the great support this year! Regards FaSTDa
