Upcoming Events 2025
We'll be taking part in several Formula Student events again next season - with two vehicles: our hydrogen racing car and our electric vehicle, which can run in both electric and driverless mode. Here is our event plan for summer 2025:
-
Formula Future (Meppen): Our hydrogen vehicle will show what it can do.
-
FS Austria (Red Bull Ring): Both our hydrogen and our electric vehicle compete here.
-
FS Czech & FS Germany: Our electric vehicle will compete in both modes, electric and autonomous.
We are looking forward to an exciting season with great events and unforgettable moments!

Seasonstart 2025
The new season is in full swing and our team is working with full energy on the implementation of the first prototypes for components that have already been developed. We are particularly proud of the successful sponsor day on October 24th, where we were able to show the KIT23 and KIT24 in action. The autonomous demonstration of the KIT24 was a special highlight and underlined our commitment to future-oriented technologies.
Hydrogen
Another exciting project: KA-RaceIng is developing a hydrogen engine for the first time! Our goal is to convert an old car to hydrogen propulsion and thus gain valuable experience for the next generation of our vehicles. In the long term, we would like to take part in competitions such as Formula Student Austria and the new Formula Future with a completely hydrogen-powered racing car.
We look forward to presenting you with many more exciting developments in the 24/25 season!

Season Review 2023/2024: A Year Full of Challenges and Successes 🚗🏆
The 2023/2024 season was a time of growth, overcoming challenges, and gaining valuable experience for us at KA-RaceIng. With our race car, KIT24, we participated in three major international Formula Student events and achieved strong results in both the Electric Vehicle (EV) and Driverless Vehicle (DV) categories.

Formula Student Austria (FSA):
Our season began in Austria at FSA, where we competed in the EV category. We were able to secure excellent placements in several disciplines:
1st place in EV Engineering Design 🥇
1st place in Efficiency ⚡
3rd place in Endurance 🥉
2nd place overall in the EV category 🏅
These results demonstrate the dedication of our team and the technical capabilities of our race car.
Formula Student East (FSEast):
After Austria, we headed straight to Hungary for FSEast, where our focus was on the Driverless category. At this event, we set two new Formula Student records at the time:
1st place in DV Acceleration with 3.293 seconds ⏱️
1st place in DV Skidpad with 4.645 seconds 🚀
In addition, we achieved further strong placements:
1st place in EV Efficiency ⚡
3rd place in EV Endurance 🥉
2nd place in DV Engineering Design 🥈
These performances led to a 2nd place overall in the DV category and a 3rd place overall in the EV category.
Formula Student Germany (FSG):
The final event of the season took place at the Hockenheimring during FSG. Here, we competed again in both categories and achieved the following results:
1st place in Driverless Cup Engineering Design 🥇
2nd place in Electric Vehicle Engineering Design 🥈
2nd place in DV Acceleration with 3.34 seconds ⏱️
3rd place in Cost Report 🥉
Although we were unable to complete the Endurance due to technical issues, we are particularly proud to have won the Sportsmanship Award – a recognition of the team spirit and collaboration that has accompanied us throughout the entire season. 🤝
With a 5th place overall in the DV category and an 8th place overall in the EV category at FSG, we conclude the 2023/2024 season. Even though the final event didn’t go as hoped, we remain optimistic as we look forward to the next season, which begins in October. 💪
