Baumüller Sponsors the Formula Student Team from the Nuremberg Institute of Technology

IMG 0754Baumüller Sponsors the Formula Student Team from the Technical University of Nuremberg: Strohm + SöhneDesigning and building your own race car. Not exactly an everyday pastime. But this is exactly what students from the Nuremberg Institute of Technology Georg Simon Ohm are passionate about. The Formula Student makes it possible: Students here work as a team of developers, designers, buyers, project planners, controllers and racers.

Every year, student teams with self-designed and built fully electric Formula race cars compete against each other in the international competition. Students put into action all of the theoretical knowledge that they have learned at the university here. In the end, there is a finished race car that must comply with about 100 pages of technical guidelines, including the associated marketing plan.
