  CURE Mannheim e.V. – 2025  News February The new year is here and we’re thrilled to share the latest news and achievements from our team with you! Thanks to your continued support, we’ve hit the ground running and made fantastic progress on the racecar over the past months, including completing the laminating of the negative mold for the monocoque, advancing with a turning wheelset and diving deep into the quiz preparation. Laminating the negative mold for the monocoque With the completion of laminating the last negative mold in January, we have taken a significant step towards producing our first monocoque chassis. This milestone was achieved thanks to the hard work of our team members and the invaluable support of our partner, Faserschmiede GmbH, whose autoclave played a key role in the process. In the upcoming weeks, we will focus on preparing the negative mold to laminate our very first monocoque into.  Turning wheelset Another key component of our new car is the al...

Looking back on a successful season This season was filled with extraordinary moments and personal growth for our team. From preparing the car to competing across Europe, we continually pushed our limits. Each event, whether in Switzerland, Croatia or Italy, presented unique challenges, which we successfully overcame. At our first event, FSCH in Switzerland, we achieved a 4th place finish overall—our highest placement in CURE Mannheim’s history. In August, we traveled to Croatia for the FSAA, where we completely restructured our accumulator and ultimately completed the endurance race successfully. Finally, we competed in Italy at FSATA, where we reached the podium in the cost event for the first time with a 3rd place and successfully drove our first-ever complete autonomous Skidpad. Our Newest Projects As the new season kicked off in October, we’ve shifted our focus to this season’s car. There’s a lot of activity in our workshop, and we’re working closely with our partners and sponsors...
