Dear interested parties
The Lions Racing Team is the Formula Student Motorsport team at TU Braunschweig. Every year we design, manufacture and test our electric and autonomous racing car. A lot of preparation, perseverance and passion goes into the development of each of our vehicles.
Our team
Electronics
This module is responsible for the development of the vehicle's powertrain. In addition, all other electronic components fall within the scope of this module.
Suspension & Power train
In addition to the rims and tires, driving dynamics essentially deals with the design of a chassis, the independent development of a planetary gear, the braking and steering system and the development of wheel carriers.
chassis
The central component of the chassis module is of course the monocoque, but the battery container, firewall or impact attenuator are also the responsibility of this module.
Organization & marketing
Of course, the main task in marketing is advertising, but event organization, recruiting and the increasingly important task of social media are also located here.
aerodynamics
As the name suggests, this module takes care of the aerodynamic components of our vehicle. Not only do we want to generate downforce here, we also want to supply the radiators.
Autonomous System & simulation
Driverless, which means driverless, implements an autonomous system and thus a self-driving car. This module is primarily characterized by software development.
Since the founding of the Lions Racing Team e.V., we have supported students from all kinds of study areas. Our team consists of mechanical engineering students and media studies students. In this way, the theoretical areas of the study are put into practice using our project. In addition to the technical challenges in developing and manufacturing our racing car, there is also the opportunity to gain experience in project management. The independence and professional competence that our members bring with them and develop further lay the foundation for their successful professional lives after their studies. All of this depends entirely on the strong support of our partners, who actively help us in many different ways and always encourage us to gain knowledge. We hope to give you an informative insight into our project via this website. Have fun reading!
The team leader
The Technical University of Braunschweig stands for excellent research and teaching, knowledge and technology transfer. The Formula Student is an excellent project that makes a very impressive contribution to teaching and transfer.
Within the project, students have the opportunity to develop electric and autonomous racing cars together in a motivated and interdisciplinary team in addition to their courses. In addition, the members demonstrate a considerable degree of independence through their independent management and implementation of the project.
Through the numerous collaborations with institutes and partners from industry, our students gain valuable insights into research and business, and the supporting companies can also establish a direct line to the aspiring engineers.
The Lions Racing Team deserves recognition for their achievements and for the great commitment that they bring in alongside their studies. We are excited every year when he comes to the presentation of a new vehicle and look forward to many more successful years.
“We are proud to be able to support such a motivated team at our university”
Formula Student
Formula Student is the world's largest design competition for students. Every year, students develop, design and build a racing vehicle and use it to compete against other universities at various events.
The first Formula Student competition took place in 1981 in Michigan, USA. The first competition in Europe was held in 1998. There are now many different events all over the world. The Formula Student Germany, which has been held at the Hockenheimring since 2006, has developed into the most important event of its kind.
The competition is characterized by innovation, which has been particularly evident in recent years with the introduction of autonomous disciplines. From 2024, Formula Student Germany will now rely entirely on electrically powered vehicles. The driverless disciplines are also becoming increasingly mandatory and are therefore groundbreaking for the future of Formula Student. In order to be able to participate in these developments at an early stage, we started working on our autonomous systems in 2019.
However, to win you don't just have to drive fast. Non-technical qualities and knowledge of the development of racing vehicles are also in demand. Be it as a business plan, engineering design or as a cost & Manufacturing Report.

The disciplines
There are different disciplines that produce different amounts of points for the team. The Dynamics, the five dynamic disciplines, test the vehicles with regard to their technology. New are the Driverless disciplines in which the vehicle drives autonomously. The Statics, the three static disciplines, involve presenting and explaining your vehicle to a jury.
