The mobility of the future is electric and automated. That trend is also reflected in this year's Formula Student Germany (FSG) event in Hockenheim. Audi's focus there will be solely on the 'Electric' and 'Driverless' categories. On 6th August, three teams of students will be out to collect points for the brand with the Four Rings, in the disciplines of costs and manufacturing, engineering design, energy efficiency and acceleration, among others. The young design engineers will meet 3,500 other young scientists from 23 nations.
Since 2007, Audi has been supporting young people with a talent for motorsport with their participation in Formula Student. This year, the design competition will once again take place at the Hockenheimring. "Innovations happen here. Anyone who shows pioneering spirit and commitment to the team at Formula Student will have all the qualities that we value also at Audi," stated Antje Maas, Head of International Personnel Marketing. "This is why we are continuing our involvement - with a new focus this year."
The four racing cars that were designed with the help of the Four Rings will this time compete in 'Formula Electric' and 'Formula Driverless'. Together with the TUfast Team from Munich, the Schanzer Racing Team from Ingolstadt and the University Racing Team from Eindhoven, Audi is thus deliberately focusing on the most important technologies of the future.
