HorsePower Hannover e.V. Team Interview

Introduce your team briefly

HorsePower Hannover e.V. was founded in 2007 by ten motivated students. Since then we grew to a team of 60 members and have competed at a FS competition each year since 2009. We built our 10th electric vehicle, the eH20, with an AWD concept with four individual wheel hub drives, CFRP aluminium sandwich monocoque, full aerodynamic package and a HV accumulator stored in the side pods. The least feature makes us unique in the Formula Student and allows us to compete with a low center of gravity. This year, we will compete at FSN with our eH20, but will compete at later events with our overall 13th vehicle, the eH22. Together we are HorsePower – powered by electricity, driven by passion.

Tell us about your team’s history with Formula Student

We first competed as a combustion team in 2009. Two years later, we switched to the Electric Competition and have been competing since then with our electric Horses (eH), this year with two at the same time – our Corona-vehicle, the eH20 at FSN and the new eH22 at the later events. In 2017 we started additionally with our first DV vehicle at an FS competition. With the great rule change merging the DV and EV class, we are currently working on a vehicle that is able to drive with and without a driver.

What does joining Formula Student Netherlands mean to you?

We first competed at FS Netherlands in 2019 and won 3rd place in Efficiency. Since then we were fascinated by the great atmosphere and organization of FSN so we decided to return. Joining FSN this year means a lot to us as it gives us the opportunity to race again with our eH20 and use the Event as a preparation for newer team members, who were not able to attend events in the last years due to the Corona pandemic.

What are your main goals for this year?

Be better than last year. Our eH20 already participated at FSG 2021, so our main goal for this year is to optimize and to push our vehicle to its limit, especially our vehicle control and aerodynamic package. We worked with a small core team to improve and test the car to win a trophy again at FSN.

What made you think of/choose FSN?

We participated at FSN 2019 and had a great time. The event was well organized and the atmosphere was awesome. You could feel the Formula Student Spirit everywhere so we decided to return this year. As it is the first event in Europe this summer, we had the chance to give our last year’s vehicle, the eH20, a second run.

What makes you different from the other teams?

We have the best Hoosier Ball Rules and are unbeatable in this traditional Formula Student game.

What is your most significant achievement in Formula Student so far?

2. Place Overall at FS Spain 2013

Do you think there are any positive outcomes for the competition from the current situation?

We all got a change of perspective due to the COVID-19 situation. Teams and Events transferred parts of their work in the digital workspace and are now able to work more remotely. And we value the time in the workshops with our teammates more than before, as we know how hard it can be to have to work together without being able to really meet the other team members.

What can the Formula Student organising bodies do to help the struggling teams due to the recent events?

Be as supportive as possible.

Did your team help your local society with the COVID-19 situation?

We used our 3D-Printers to provide face shields for the front line workers at the beginning of the COVID-19 situation.

Personal Statement:

We hope that we will have finally a “normal” event-season again and wish all the participating teams the best of luck. Let’s have some fun!

Bimasakti Racing Team Interview

Introduce your team briefly

Established in 2010, Bimasakti is the first student formula team in Indonesia. Although we are still considered as a young team compared to other counterparts in the world, our passion to keep learning and improving our team drives us to improve our understanding of motorsport engineering. We are filled with compassionate students who dedicated their time in the midst of their hectic college schedule to build a new world class student formula car. Because of our circumstances, we do university activities in the morning to afternoon and continue to build our car in the evening, six days a week.

Tell us about your team’s history with Formula Student

After the declining strikethrough of the Indonesian national student go-karting championship, our team decided to pursue a higher level of competition. We established the formula student team in 2010 and competed for the first time in Formula Student Japan in 2011. We were able to compete in every event without penalty in Formula Student Japan 2018. Two years of pandemic didn’t stop us from improving our team’s performance. In 2020, we participated in FSAE Australasia 2020. While in 2021, we participated in Formula Bharat Virtuals 2021. We managed to achieve several awards from both competitions. After 2 years of joining the online Formula Student Competition due to COVID-19 pandemic, this year will be the first time we are able to compete in an offline Formula Student Competition. We will definitely come back stronger this year.

What does joining Formula Student Netherlands mean to you?

Our participation in Formula Student Netherlands will be our first breakthrough to get out of our comfort zone and participate in a competition with different circumstances than what we are used to. This competition will also become the first time for any Indonesian Formula Student Team to compete outside Formula Student Japan.

What are your main goals for this year?

Since this will be our first time competing in Formula Student Netherlands, our main goal for this year is to give our best effort in order to offer a good level of competitiveness in Formula Student Netherlands. We targeted our team to achieve Top 5 Business Presentation, Top 10 Engineering Design, Top 10 Cost and Manufacturing, and Top 10 Overall Static Event. We also targeted our team to accomplish Class A Endurance, Top 10 Skidpad Event, Top 20 Acceleration, and Top 25 Autocross.

What made you think of/choose FSN?

Being accepted in three Formula Student Events, we are more than willing to participate in more than one event. But with the limited funding we have, we can only participate in one Formula Student Event. We chose to participate in Formula Student Netherlands because we have a lot of alumni in the Netherlands that will guide us and give generous support for our competition.

What makes you different from the other teams?

Bimasakti Racing Team is a team with quite a few members and limited funding, but even with our limitations, we managed ourselves to successfully create a vehicle with competitive performance. Our passion for automotive is not the only thing that drives us to keep improving our research and performance, but our nationalism also becomes our biggest motivation to become an accomplished team and make the Indonesian nation proud internationally.

What is your most significant achievement in Formula Student so far?

3rd Business Presentation in Formula Student Japan 2018
Top 8 Skidpad Event in Formula Student Japan 2019

Do you think there are any positive outcomes for the competition from the current situation?

Definitely. With all the struggles we faced during the pandemic, at last, the pandemic gives us a chance to rethink the concept of our car and refine the engineering quality of our car.

What can the Formula Student organising bodies do to help the struggling teams due to the recent events?

Our team’s funding has always been one of the biggest struggles we faced throughout the year. Formula Student teams in several countries, especially in Indonesia, are continuously facing a financial struggle due to lack of society’s support for our community. This situation explains the gap between the foreign team and the Indonesian team. For example, the European Formula Student teams can participate in 3-5 events per year, while the Indonesian Formula Student teams are struggling to participate even in just one event.

Did your team help your local society with the COVID-19 situation?

Yes. Our research, development, and goals have always been dedicated to society. During the pandemic, we built hand sanitizer dispensers and sinks to support society’s clean and healthy environment. As the oldest formula student team in Indonesia, we also try to share as much information and knowledge as possible with other Indonesianuniversities who want to develop their student formula teams.

FaSTTUBe Team Interview

Introduce your team briefly

FaSTTUBe stands for Formula Student Team of the TU Berlin and team spirit, ambition, gasoline, and electricity in the blood. Since 2005, nearly 80 students have been building new racing cars every year with which they participate in Formula Student design competitions throughout Europe. Today, FaSTTUBe is bigger than it has ever been before; we count a staggering number of up to 100 members, building an electric driverless car.

Tell us about your team’s history with Formula Student

It all started in 2005 when a group of young engineering students wanted to participate in a so-called Formula Student Event. Driven by the motivation of making a self build car drive, they started with the most basic but functioning car. Over the years, they managed to grow the Team and find likewise thinking students. Further improvements were made, and the first complete aero kit was fitted in 2015. Following this trend, the Team experimented on how to increase the engine power resulting in fitting their first Turbocharger to the Engine. Besides working on the combustion car, FaSTTUBe started developing their first electric car in 2018, therefore building 2 cars every season since. It didn´t stop there, and a third member was added to the family – 2019, the birth of our first Driverless car. And now we are combining all of that knowledge in our new FT22 which will be an all electric Formula Student race car with driverless capabilities.

What does joining Formula Student Netherlands mean to you? 

Last year we had an amazing time at Formula Student Netherlands. Coming in at 2nd place Overall with our FT20c combustion car it was our most successful event ever. We still remember our car being raced around the track at incredible pace by our driver. From the trackside you could see the enormous amount of grip the car had on the endurance track. We could only imagine the fun our driver must have had in the car. That’s why we are incredibly excited to return to FS Netherlands and drive once again on one of the best tracks in Formula Student. The weather could be more reliable this time.

What are your main goals for this year? 

As we have never had the pleasure to see one of our electric cars drive at a Formula Student Event our main goal is to participate in all dynamic events. It will be interesting to see how our new concepts perform at a real FS Event.

What made you think of/choose FSN?  

FSN has a great community, has the most fun track to drive on and has the best competition among other teams. Especially the quality of the feedback we have received so far at FSN has made us prioritize it over others.

What makes you different from the other teams? 

We are one of few teams that managed to build three cars with one Team! Furthermore this year we had to make the decision with a heavy heart not to build another combustion engine race car. However, to honour the history of our team, this year we are the only European team to participate in an event in the USA in addition to the European events.

What is your most significant achievement in Formula Student so far? 

There were many achievements so far, and it is tough to tell which one is the biggest. Although, finishing three cars under a worldwide pandemic could count as one of the biggest so far!

One of our greatest achievements was to master the last two seasons 2020/2021. We managed to complete three race cars during a worldwide pandemic also we managed to participate with all three in Formula Student events.

Our combustion car, the FT20c, has been the most successful car in the history of FaSTTUBes, and last year we won 2nd place overall at FSN.

Do you think there are any positive outcomes for the competition from the current situation? 

Since the events could not take place in the summer of 2020 and only to a limited extent in 2021, we are now even more looking forward to a competition like the one that took place before the pandemic. We have learned to appreciate even more how special the competition and the Formula Student community is.

What can the Formula Student organising bodies do to help the struggling teams due to the recent events? 

The biggest problem we and other teams are facing is rising prices and much longer and unreliable delivery times. Formula Student events are what we work towards all year, but they are also one of the biggest costs we have to plan for. Later payment and lower cost overall would definitely help some teams through these times.
