Team Description
HAWKS Racing was founded in 2003 and participates in various Formula Student events since 2004.
This year we are designing and building our fifth high voltage electrical driven race car, the H21.
Currently, we are about 50 students from different specialties, working on the project in interdisciplinary groups.
We are looking forward to an awesome season and the upcoming FS-Events in 2026!

2025
Info
This year HAWKS Racing will be competing with their 20th racecar, H0XX. After building combustion vehicles for 18 years, we switched to electric in 2021. H20 marks the start of our second-generation electric platform with a completely redesigned high voltage powertrain and a full CFRP monocoque. Based on the validated concept of the previous generation, this vehicle introduces several major innovations.

Info
HAWKS Racing's 19th racecar, NOVA, is finally ready to show you how she performs on track! After making the switch to electric in 2021, it's now our third year of driving electric. This year, for the first time in HAWKS history, we will be competing autonomously at an event. In addition to the autonomous system, simulation and validation were also important to us this season in order to get the best out of our car.

2023
Info
Last year we proved that electric cars don't have to be quiet. With our second electric vehicle "Nayra" we'll try to take it up a step and bring some more noise to the track. The eighteenth car built by HAWKS Racing inherits all of the history of the Team in true 69 spirit (even if the car number says something different). With a revised drive train concept and newly developed embedded systems we want to attack once again, even without a driver.

2022
Info
HAWKS Racing, known as one of the loudest combustion teams in FS history, has now been silenced. FSG hoped they wouldn´t have to clean up any more of our oil leaks on the track. But you know what? We won´t let anyone tell us what to do. With a completely new designed, liquid cooled HV-Accumulator and Tractive System, we are prepared to flood the hearts of every electric racing enthusiast. We proudly present: HAAVKE
