Team Details

KTH Racing presents its 7th Formula Student car – KTHR7. After 3rd overall place 2005 and “Most Innovative use of electronics”-award 2008 at Silverstone, the team has large expectations this year. Compared to forerunners, the car is lighter and more reliable. The focus was also placed on the driver’s comfort and safety, which includes such details as electro-pneumatic shifting and multifunctional steering wheel. This, together with improved steering allows good handling and drivability on the track and good results in the competition!

KTH Racing 2007/2008 consists of about 25 students who have developed KTHR5 entirely on their spare time. The car has a good chance of competing with its predecessors as well as the other teams at the competition thanks to for instance the newly developed carbon fiber monocoque and the adjustable semi-active roll damping system. Another spectacular design feature is the variable intake manifold, which has been made using rapid prototyping. This has allowed the team to integrate a control unit in order to be able to adjust the intake geometry depending on engine speed. The brake calipers have also been designed and manufactured by a team member. Putting all of these factors together, the potential of KTHR5 becomes obvious. Hopefully the team members will be rewarded for their hard work and beat the result from Formula Student UK 2005, when they finished in third place.
