Stuttgart, Germany – In the Formula Student Germany (FSG) competition, Bosch is helping more than 30 teams develop and design their formula race cars, and to put them into operation. On July 8, the supplier of technology and services will be inviting some 300 students from four countries to its Boxberg proving ground to prepare their vehicles for the competition on the Hockenheimring circuit. The support provided by Bosch mainly takes the form of hardware components, software, and expertise. Above all, the students benefit from the specialist know-how of the engineers they can turn to for advice. “In the Formula Student competition, students can gather valuable experience in project management, engineering, and software,” says Bernhard Bihr, the president of Bosch Engineering, a Bosch Group subsidiary that specializes in engineering services. Bosch has been involved in this race series for ten years now. In FSG, students build their own race cars and compete against each other in the “combustion,” “electric,” and “driverless” classes. Apart from driving tasks, the teams have to present a business plan and a marketing concept to a panel of judges.
