Info
The OWL Racing-Team is presenting its newest addition to the electric race car lineup: the OWL2.5. For our sixth electric vehicle since the switch from combustion engines, we aimed to build an even more reliable and faster car that's able to compete with the best teams. Improving the best features of our previous cars with today's knowledge and experience, we're excited to demonstrate what a team of people with diverse fields of study can achieve.
