Team Details

Tampere Formula Student is entering its 15th competition season this year with the completely new TFS23. The whole car was designed from the ground up around our first CFRP monocoque with new suspension geometry, reinvented aero package, modular ICE packaging and improved electronics. Our team is mostly known for our team spirit and laid back attitude. However, with the massive technical step forward, we also aim to take our performance to the next level and be more competitive in the future.

Tampere UAS Motorsport is founded 2008 in Tampere University of Applied Sciences in Tampere, Finland. Since then we have competed around Europe in various Formula Student events and with widely various casts. This year we experimented with cast magnesium parts and hybrid monocoque structure with carbon fiber sandwich structures over tubular steel frame. With the extensive support from our sponsors we have been able to come this far, we wish to send massive thanks to them!

We are introducing our 7th car which is a refined version of our FS013 racecar. Featuring the same V2 550cc engine, body and chassis. Everything had to shed weight since this year we’ve made our first aeropackage. To sum it up the focus of this car were the wings, driver ergonomics and electrical components to make the car truly challenge the other teams in Europe. Dozens of students have worked on this project in designing, material testing and various manufacturing tasks.

This year we are proud to present our newest racecar FS012 which is our 5th Formula Student-class racing car. Compared to our previous car, significant changes have been made to truly challenge other teams in Europe. Over 20 students have worked with this project in development, material testing and various other manufacturing tasks. With the help of our sponsors we have been able to build a car with some of the finest components out there, resulting in a package high on quality and performance. The combination of great technical solutions with a practical and cool appearance, make this car worth looking for.

This year we are proud to present our newest racecar FS011 which is our 4th Formula Student -class racing car. Compared to our previous car, significant changes have been made to truly challenge other teams in Europe. Over 30 students have worked with this project in development, material testing and various other manufacturing tasks. With the help of our sponsors we have been able to build a car with some of the finest components out there, resulting in a package high on quality and performance. The combination of great technical solutions with a practical and cool appearance, make this car worth looking for.

What comes to racing, development is vital to gain success. In our second appearance in Hockenheim, we will reveal our 3rd Formula Student –class racing car, FS010, which is by far the most advanced and the most competitive car we have ever built. All 24 members of our team have worked hard with this project to make the designs come to life. With the help of our sponsors we have been able to build a car with some of the finest components out there, resulting in a package high on quality and performance. Every aspect has been evaluated and redesigned in the designing process of the new car. As a result we managed to reduce weight and improve handling capabilities compared to our previous car. New features such as telemetry and electric shifting system makes the car easier to drive and adjust. The combination of great technical quality solutions with a practical and cool appearance, make this car worth looking for.

Tampere UAS Motorsport was founded in late 2006. Our history includes involving in Formula Student 2008 in class 1 and 2007 in class 3. Our team consist about 20 mechanical engineer students from all grades in our University. For this year we are about to introduce a completely new Formula Student race car and compete it in Formula Student Germany.When designing the FS009 named race car, we mainly concentrated in improving three basic things: less weight, better handling and improved reliability. These goals are archived by more extensive FEM calculations, better dynamics and running longer test season. To gain more benefit from tests, our car is equipped with comprehensive data acquisition system.In addition to above, we have paid attention to ease of manufacturing processes and lower installation costs. Material choices and fabrication methods are reconsidered in every detail of the car. In overall we have a very competitive line-up to present in Formula Student Germany 2009.
