RUB Motorsport – Hockenheimring 2023

/// Freitag, 18. August 2023 – der RUB23e wird das erste elektrisch angetriebene Fahrzeug von RUB Motorsport, das erfolgreich eine dynamische Disziplin absolviert. Beim Saisonhöhepunkt, dem Formula Student Germany auf dem Hockenheimring, gelingt dem Team durch die Teilnahme an Skid Pad und Endurance endlich das, worauf es seit einem Jahr hingearbeitet hat.
In diesem Video nehmen wir die Zuschauer mit nach Hockenheim und geben Ihnen einen authentischen Einblick in den Wettbewerb. Von der Arbeit in der Box, über das Racing auf der Strecke, bis hin zur profansten Sache – dem Essen – zeigen die Bilder die Welt der Formula Student.

But in the end, when it comes to the problems that really make the car run, we feel the same way. We sit there and watch, we try to help where we can, but generally in the end you’re pretty helpless. After that, the car wouldn’t start anymore. We think it’s

Because of temperature problems a circuit board and there were also situations where we thought it wouldn’t work anymore, I think we were so close to the point that there was no longer any possibility of saying somehow that [music] [music] can’t

Be done in 2020 25 30 active members and four of them are electrical engineers. Yes, that’s actually pretty low for an electric car. There’s also a huge amount of respect for what they ‘ve achieved this year. We

Built our first electric car last season, the 2122 season, and that’s relative We also noticed early on that it brought with it a lot of new challenges, so of course we were somehow used to building a racing car on an annual cycle, but with the things that we

Have to develop our own battery and that we have to adapt the drive train to the electric car that we have an inverter in the car, that we have a lot more electronics in the car and that our team

Consists mainly of mechanical engineering students and not from electrical engineering and information technology – there are a few but there are not that many – it was a huge challenge last year Getting the car ready on schedule was just at the end, so we didn’t drive at the event in

2022, we cleaned up our battery, we completely rebuilt the chassis, we changed a few things there and all of that together means that we then But we managed to build an electrode this season, which is above all rule-compliant, the Form Student is an international competition in which each university designs its own

Racing car according to the rules of the Form Student Germany. For this you have to pass acceptance tests at the events The car must be mechanically safe, the car must be electrically safe, it must be able to brake, your car must be able to withstand the rain. For all teams,

Not just those who also have a driving car, the electric car is a static discipline, so we have to show that our car is well thought out then the engineering design where our design decisions are evaluated by people from the industry and also

Experienced professors and we listen carefully to what we have done down to the last detail and we are awarded points for it. The second static discipline is the cost report which buy or make decisions we have made So which parts do you buy and which parts say okay, we manufacture them in-house

And we actually always score very well because we think about it a lot, okay where do we actually invest our money in, what are we trying to do here on site with our options here but also in general to implement it yourself at the university and to lend a hand yourself if

You have all that then you can really dynamically compete against the other cars at the event [Music] Tent [Music] 5St almost at the cones in the video you can see Yes, there’s still at least half a meter left, so I don’t know why that is, but even with a little testing you could have provoked something a little bit and maybe even grinded a con and then

Noticed that from this distance it’s my turn and I’m not allowed to go under that and so I just drove too far away, I think, although you have to say third event of the season and first competitive run ever when the car is driving at the event it’s a completely different place

Than when the car is somehow behind it Driving in halls or somewhere else and just a moving car is only half the job [Music] [Applause] [Music] Rent in the afternoon Stefan was sitting at the starting line of acceleration and he made a jump

And then the car stopped driving It also came as a negative highlight, so to speak, that a judge thought that our car had done something that it wasn’t allowed to do and thought we had an electronic problem, which we thought are that we didn’t have that and that’s why the electrical sticker

Was taken off again, which means that we basically have to do an electrical acceptance test again and that’s why we have to throw everything out and say I don’t feel like it anymore, but we just do n’t do that So of course everyone is a little bit depressed but nothing has been

Decided here yet, yes, cooking is like that, it works somehow ate aldente [laughter] you’re ready to put it in, so they order, we deliver delivery service W the hungry mules are now fed We didn’t have breakfast today because we ran out of milk for cornflakes. It’s completely normal that K always

Takes care of the food and then brings it here because the people on the route don’t have the time or capacity for that and now the situation is just a coincidence Everyone here is right on the route, yes, that’s how it was, the brief moment of peace that you

Have with a 15-hour day or something like that. It was very, very warm on Saturday, a little warmer than the days before and this new master We installed it, we don’t know exactly why there was generally more of a temperature problem than the one before, that

Is, we had to install another fan in the car on Saturday and then managed to get the car ready on Saturday so that it was ready for the I don’t have one I’ve just had a look and we now have 600 new on the

Rear axle. Given the weight, we definitely need at least 1.5 for elongation and we can still reach a maximum speed of 80 kmh for endurance It’s actually quite okay, so the top teams that achieve 100 can probably do more, but we’ve now

Found the compromise without having to have a specific control strategy for certain things. We have to make sure that we stay below 80 kW and that’s what we have Guaranteed the first time I have

Already driven the endurance with the 20 s last pabrenner in 2021 and at that time we were standing by and we didn’t really know what to do because what do other teams do, adjust tire pressure, we had we didn’t have the

Situation before and this time It was now that we were a little better prepared, so we had adjusted the suspension, we had adjusted the tire pressure, so we had done things that were standard because we actually knew on Friday evening that we had a chance to drive,

Which was dangerous on the test, like many Rounds cure 90 seconds vi rounds 90 seconds loudly, one and a half laps can now be said that the pump should start until the next LV reset but since we don’t do it it definitely lets it on exactly we are without wing dangers

Simply because the condition of the ground that day so we We’ve noticed that a lot of teams are ruining their aerodynamics. We said it’s actually not worth it, so we’re not going to compete for the top places now. Then we do

N’t want to ruin ourselves from the wing. Our power delivery was good now, but it was never really dangerous before I have to first see how the car drives [Music] Me Drama Milano St inngction and train of cars Milano Trento and [Music] behind [Music] overchum I think we’ve seen that the concept is right So not only this year but also in the ’22 season because the concept comes from there, approaches come from there and

We have seen that the concept works and can also work competitively um and I think that’s something where you’re very, very good at it can build up , be able to go there for the next season and improve the whole thing and then perhaps

Be able to push the car to its maximum performance with a lot of testing time because I think that is undeniably quite high. All of us, each individual in the team, are putting in a lot Time and a lot of heart and soul put into the matter and it is very, very rewarding

When at the end you have a car like this that drives and everyone can be happy about it We are really happy and very proud of having developed this and achieved this [music] [music] [music] [music]
