Formula Student Germany 2018 | Hockenheimring

[@dentz5496]

These programs are there for university teams to run and operate a racing works team. Building and piecing together a car within a rule set and competing on test courses, as far as I know, they don't do direct racing, instead consisting of a series of obstacles and time attacks, it's awesome programs like this that help give up and comings way to get their feet wet being part of a program like this. Really would have loved to ha e been a part of this back in the day, will have to watch things like this more! Also awesome looking car!

we will be there soon guys

The thumbnail really said BIG WANG

[@daanthooft]

5:02 what kind of sorcery is this?

[@srivenkat2811]

Driverless cars dude. It's a category in fsg, along with electric and combustion

[@JeDi___]

Sri ist right! The small section starting at 4:56 is supposed to show some other amazing teams + show what Formula Student has got to offer as a whole - which is a combustion competition, an electric competition + the recently introduced driverless competition. You can find more videos from AMZ driverless on their YT channel: kzbin.info

in germany we call it staubsauger

[@raflyfaridhony9356]

is the rear wing affected in the performance of the car with that speed?? thx

[@scienceh.4621]

well...in terms of that this cars are bult by german engeneer students... yes, they would never do this if it wouldnt help.

[@weixianng]

Slower the speed, the bigger the aero needs to be to take affect. So it probably does help.

[@andreasalois1793]

downforce in the turns, more important than top speed

[@mandarmalwadkar9421]

which instrument have you used to measure the g force? where have you placed the instrument? Does it represent the g force acting on the driver or Centre of Gravity?

[@upbracingteam8076]

We are using the integrated accelerometer of our ECU, which is placed beneath our driver's seat.

Which devices do you paste at PushRods?

[@IGTSH_Senseiakos]

Hello, Can you help me? How is this formula sae works? Do i have to buy a car? How many races in a season are? How much a car and a whole season costs around?

[@Revotap]

Those are university teams sponsored by bigger manufactures. They build the cars on their own in teams. I dont think you can paticipate alone with your own car

[@madelinevidet9899]

What s the engin ?

[@blaze3766]

Why aren't they racing on cart tracks? They can't build up speed on these silly courses.

[@benjaminmcintosh857]

You can't exactly build up much speed on a cart track either...

[@v12style67]

@@benjaminmcintosh857 kart tracks allow for 60-70mph easily

[@RicardoGarcia-pm4nf]

The purpose of this competition is not about 'racing', but about testing the ability of university teams to build racing cars that can perform well in a variety of situations.

[@blaze3766]

@@RicardoGarcia-pm4nf OK, that makes sense, but wouldn't the test be "better", meaning wouldn't the abilities of the car and it's limits be better shown and tested were the test conducted on a bigger track? I guess there are limitations when it comes to the location and the price of renting a race track.

[@RicardoGarcia-pm4nf]

@@blaze3766 quite the opposite. If the track is narrow with mixes of slow, medium and fast corners, you can better test how the car behaves, it's acceleration, traction and easiness for the driver to handle while still pushing. The bigger the track, the more forgiving. Also, this is a test to see if the car can hold together while under pressure... Remember this is built by students, not a car manufacter 🙂

Cool cars. Now, let them loose........ and RACE!

This is nothing really, formula E is so much faster

[@piotrgancewski6736]

Mate its formula student not fe

[@yabdifootballchallenges7981]

@Kai Bel yes, I think you should rather compare it to a good kart, I mean a FS car is small while FE cars are very big, also what you meant played a role. But what I wanted to say is, those FS cars accelerate extremely quick, have some aeoro and go 100kph, on a kart circuit with a lot of corners and some small straights an FS car is faster than a prof kart

[@marcobrancorsini2479]

@@yabdifootballchallenges7981 Idk about that. Maybe faster than a direct drive kart, but not a KZ.

[@tiagobelo4965]

​@@marcobrancorsini2479 you'd be surprised, these cars run in bellow 300kg quite often, whilst having up to 80kw (well, unless someone decides to remove the limiter outside of a competition), they are absolute rockets, and the cornering on a proper one can be terrifying

[@marcobrancorsini2479]

@@tiagobelo4965 Bro KZs are fucking insane. Have you ever seen one on video?

[@stanislaoperrotta1289]

Lol.... you really wanna learn racing? Go for a shifter kart... faster than this mini gold cars

[@donny6668]

lol you dont get the point of that event dude xd

[@yabdifootballchallenges7981]

@@donny6668 and he's not even right, on a lap, the top speeds will be about equal or the shift kart has a better top speed, but the Formula Student car will gain back with the fast acceleration. Also I think the Formula Student car had better aero's, and will win time in the corners.
