Ersa Supports Young Racing Team

How can today’s students best apply the theoretical knowledge acquired in their studies in a practical way? The best and most exciting possibility is offered by the Formula Student – where young engineers single-handedly build racing cars!

Ready for racing: the KIT racer at the acceleration competition

For years now, the KA RaceIng Team from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has been up among the front runners. The group consisting of 70 students from different fields of study design and make two Formula racing cars every year – a racer with an internal combustion engine and one with four electric motors. The vehicles have long been equipped with specially developed and produced control units which, as a result of the low lot size, involve elaborate hand-crafting for the soldering of the circuit boards.

In addition to consumables such as solder, desoldering braid, fluxing agent and soldering tips, the system supplier Ersa also supported the racing team with high-quality soldering accessories, the most helpful of which was undoubtedly an EASY ARM fume extraction system. Thus equipped, the young engineers are ideally prepared for the numerous challenges which racing teams will face in the coming years, both on and off the track. We wish the KA RaceIng Team every success for the upcoming Formula Student starts!
