Short description of present activities:

Being a team of 50 students, KA-RaceIng builds two cars every year: one for the formula student and one for the formula student electric. Starting in autumn with conception and construction, we set a very tight production schedule to present our new cars in April. Since then we have tested a lot to get ready to race and train our drivers. The KIT11 is our 5th combustion car and combines the best of new ideas and approved concepts. Our aim is to score as much points as possible and achieve a top ranking overall. We would like to thank all supporters and are looking forward to an exciting event at Györ.
