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 for the necessary components. This year's car will feature an all-wheel drive monocoque design. We have recently started to work on the wheel assembly by using electrical discharge machining and the monocoque will soon be milled. In the upcoming months we will start laminating the monocoque. The preparations for all assembly groups have been underway for some time now and we’re thrilled to see everything coming together.
