As a partner, we would like to congratulate the TU Darmstadt Racing Team (DART): The 45 or so students can look back on an eventful 2022 season of the international design competition "Formula Student".

Electrically powered – from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 3 seconds – and partly driverless, they were on their toes on several race tracks in Europe. « The events in Hungary, Spain and Italy were enormously strong in terms of atmosphere, and one result highlight was third place in the skid pad discipline, » reports Chief Operation Officer Björn Hellmann. « But especially the performance at the Hockenheimring was a special experience for all of us. The best teams in the world came together there. »

Technically speaking, 2022 was an exciting challenge for the Darmstadt-based company. Not only because a new carbon monoque was integrated. For the first time, a DART racing car started with engines developed in-house. Says Hellmann: « Although we haven’t yet been able to fully exploit the potential of the engines, we’ve learned a lot that will be used for next year’s car. »
