TUfast e.V. Racing Team
Founded in November 2002, the TUfast Racing Team was initiated by five passionate students from the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Their mission? To gain hands-on engineering experience and put theoretical knowledge into real-world practice through motorsport innovation. They envisioned a platform where students could take full responsibility, manage tight budgets and timelines, and work closely in a team—skills essential in the automotive and engineering industries.
Over two decades later, TUM students are still designing and building their own Formula Student race car from scratch each year. With every new season, the team rises to meet engineering and design challenges head-on—mirroring the demands of the professional world. Their enduring goal remains unchanged: to develop and build a new, high-performance TUfast race car every year.
Every team member benefits from this unique student project, gaining invaluable practical experience, engineering knowledge, and professional skills. TUfast acts as a bridge between academia and the automotive industry, organizing company excursions and inviting industry partners to collaborate on technical and organizational challenges.
An important aspect of the team culture is the integration of international students. Joining TUfast helps make the transition to a new country easier—thanks to shared passions, countless hours of teamwork, and unforgettable competition experiences.
Above all, TUfast is committed to inspiring the next generation of engineers by bringing technology and science closer to future university students.
