Stuttgart, Germany – The self-constructed race car of Heilbronn University's Formula Student Team accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds. Before the single-seater goes on the test track, some last-minute settings are adjusted. Feeling both excited and proud, the students of the HHN Racing Team watch their driver steer the car around the track. "The two days here in Boxberg are enormously important to us. After months of work, we can finally test the vehicle properly and talk to the Bosch engineers", explains team leader Viktor Renz from the HHN Racing Team. On the 6th and 7th of July, Bosch invited around 270 students from Formula Student Germany (FSG) to its own test track in Boxberg. At the two-day application and driving event, students from Germany, Switzerland, France and Australia prepared their race cars for the grand finale in Hockenheim. Around 40 specialists from the Bosch Group supported the students with specialist knowledge while they tested their vehicles. This year Boxberg hosted 27 teams with their vehicles in the three categories "Driverless", "Combustion" and "Electric".
