FS Germany 2026 Recap 🇩🇪
Another incredible week at our home race, the Hockenheimring, has come to an end! From August 11 to 16, our team put CARO (CM-26x) through Scrutineering, Statics, and Dynamics. New challenges showed up, from tight scrutineering margins to battery issues. But what defined this week wasn’t the setbacks, it was how the team responded to them: working all day and night, troubleshooting under pressure, and getting back up to try again. 🙌
In the end we passed every technical inspection, clocked 4.06 seconds in Acccelaration, and completed the Autocross. Along the way, we still picked up solid results in the Statics: 27th in Cost, 30th in Business Plan, and 55th in Engineering Design.
Endurance, the final and toughest test of the week, ended early after an unexpected electrical issue. It was a disappointing way to close out Dynamics after everything the team put into getting there. But it’s also a reminder of what this competition is really about, and we’re taking that lesson straight into our final event of the season.
Beyond the numbers, we were glad to welcome so many sponsors, partners, and supporters to our pit throughout the week, including representatives of DHBW Mannheim’s Rectorate, Freundeskreis, and long-standing partners of the team. Thank you for taking the time to visit us and share the Formula Student spirit with us. 🫶
Every single team member had a hand in getting us through this week! Whether it was in the pit, the camp, on the tools, or behind the scenes. That’s the kind of performance and resilience we’re genuinely proud of, and it’s exactly what we’re taking with us into FS ATA this September. ❤️🇮🇹
