University Racing Eindhoven

The URE18 team regrets to inform you that we will resign from competing at Formula Student East. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, our URE18 car is not yet ready to drive autonomously at FSEast. We, however, still see a bright future for the URE18 at FSG in August, so we have decided to fully focus on FSG and plan in some extra testing time until then. Thank you to our team, who have and are working very hard to get our car ready, and good luck to all the teams competing at FSEast! #Eindhoven #TUEindhoven #Fontys #EngineeringStudent #StudentTeam #RacingTeam #FormulaStudentEast #FSEast

Day 5 FSN 🇳🇱 Results from the static events: In the morning, the static results were released. For both the Engineering design and Business plan presentation we reached the top 10! This is a very good result and gave us a big start with the number of points on the static side. Furthermore, we did even better at the Cost and Manufacturing event, since we are in the top 3! Results will be released at the ceremony coming Thursday evening. Skidpad: In the early morning, we went to skidpad to give our second driver his 2 shots at setting a time. The times were very good and constant! Since we had only driven one time the day before the first driver was able to do another run today where he set another faster time! A 5,021!! This secured our third place for the skidpad event. Very good performance by the skidpad drivers! Acceleration event: Here the goal is to drive 75m as fast as possible. URE set a new personal record, 3.640! This is the fastest time we have ever done an acceleration event. We are very proud to have achieved this. Autocross: At autocross the same issues with the transponder occurred. The timing did not work, and we had to get it fixed. Eventually we were able to do 2 solid runs. Our best time was a 1:06:12. Very good time, we are awaiting the results! Day 6: Tomorrow is the day of the endurance where 22km will be driven by all teams.

Day 4 at FSN 🇳🇱 It was a busy day today consisting of scrutineering, static and multiple dynamic events. Through planning and good coordination we got through all of these. We successfully passed all scrutineering sessions and were able to continue on to the dynamics of the competition! Cost and manufacturing event: The cost department was up for judgement and was thoroughly questioned about the cost and manufacturing of our car. They had to explain why and how every part is manufactured. This went good and after an hour of questioning they finished and we had to go to the next thing on the agenda! Electrical scrutineering: After the Cost and Manufacturing event. The team quickly went to the electrical re scrutineering where they had to tick of some final points on the car. The electrical team had worked hard to resolve all points the day before. E-gress, Tilt test, Rain test and Brake test: Our 5 drivers needed to perform an e-gress, this meant the needed to get out of the car within 5 seconds while being in a seated position. They all passed on the first try! Next up was the tilt test. This is a test to check the center of gravity of the car. Furthermore we passed the brake test and the rain test on our first attempt. Skidpad: We were one of the earlier teams to perform a skidpad this day. Unfortunately the transponder on our car, the timing piece from the competitions, appeared to malfunction. The timings were not showing up and this meant we needed to retry it a couple of times. Eventually the transponder ended up working. We were able to set the last time of the day that consisted of a wet skidpad time of 5.017. At the time the third best time of the session. Tomorrow we will go back as early as possible trying to get the Day 5: Tomorrow we will have our second attempt on the skidpad and we will be driving the acceleration and autocross! #FSN #Engineering #Teamwork #Innovation #Scrutineering #Mechanical #Electrical #Design #RaceDay #Egress #Skidpad #RainTest #Braketest

Day 3 at FSN 🇳🇱 Electrical Scrutineering: Our first session took place this morning, and it went smoothly! While we had a few minor issues to address, there were no major problems. Our electrical team worked hard to complete the necessary changes. We plan to return on Tuesday for final approval. Mechanical Scrutineering: We also went through mechanical re-scrutineering. It was a productive day, and by the afternoon, we got the green light! Our only remaining task is to demonstrate the strength of a the brake pedal. With no further mechanical modifications needed, we completed the final computations this evening and are ready to present them to a scrutineer tomorrow. Engineering Design: In the afternoon, our engineering design team was judged. After days of preparation, we were ready! The session was intense, with many questions about our car, but the team handled it brilliantly and was pleased with the outcome. Team Pictures: At the end of the day, all teams gathered on the main straight of the circuit for group photos. #FSN #Engineering #Teamwork #Innovation #Scrutineering #Mechanical #Electrical #Design #engineering

Day 1-2 at FSN! 🇳🇱 What a day! We kicked things off early at the circuit unloading the large trailer of INTERNATIONALE MEUBELTRANSPORTEN F GERING. Thank you for your support as our partner! Simultaneously we were setting up our temporary pit box while the rest of the team got our campsite up and running. The highlight of the day? Passing the Accumulator Scrutineering after a few adjustments! ✔️ We also tackled Mechanical Scrutineering. Though we hit a few bumps, the team is working hard to resolve them. We’ll be back for a re-Scrutineering session Monday, aiming for early afternoon. Stay tuned for more updates from Day 2! #FSN #FormulaStudent #Eindhoven #TUe #Engineering #PitCrew

In a few days the URE18 will be attending its first competition at Formula Student Netherlands! In preparation for FSN, we have been testing our race car frequently. This requires some high quality devices. Thankfully, dSPACE provided us with the MicroAutoBox 2, which we use to run all of the EV algorithms of the car at high speeds. Thank you dSPACE for your support as our partner! 📸: @dutchnikonframes #Eindhoven #TUEindhoven #EngineeringStudent #StudentTeam #RacingTeam #FormulaStudent #ElectricRaceCar #dSpace #FSN

This year, URE started with a major setback, our LiDAR broke... Fortunately, we received a lot of support from you on our GoFundMe, as well as a new partnership with Sentech. Sentech provided us with a brand new Ouster OS1-128, which will take our autonomous system to the next level. We can't wait to show you our new LiDAR in action at the races! Thank you Sentech | the sensor integrators for your support as our partner and thank you to everyone who donated as well! #Eindhoven #TUEindhoven #EngineeringStudent #StudentTeam #RacingTeam #FormulaStudent #LiDAR #Driverless #AutonomousCar #Ouster #Sentech

The key to a good race season is lots of testing and practice. Thankfully, ProMove provides us with a testing location, where we have been practicing for the upcoming races! Thank you ProMove bvba for your support as our partner! 📷 Photos by Didimedia & Maarten Claes Photography #Eindhoven #TUEindhoven #EngineeringStudent #StudentTeam #RacingTeam #FormulaStudent #Formula1 #ElectricRacing #ProMove

In this short film, Thom van Oss from Apex Dynamics BV | tandwielkasten | tandheugels | rondsels visits and interviews former URE member Floris van Lookeren Campagne at TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Europe. Floris started his career with an internship at Toyota Gazoo Racing Europe and thanks to his time at University Racing Eindhoven, he did not only get an internship, but is now also working at Toyota Gazoo Racing. Floris takes Thom on an exclusive tour of the Toyota museum and shares his personal experiences about both his current role at Toyota and his educational period at URE. Join Thom and Floris for a look at Toyota Gazoo Racing! #Eindhoven #TUEindhoven #EngineeringStudent #StudentTeam #RacingTeam #FormulaStudent #LeMans #Formula1 #ApexDynamics #ToyotaGazooRacing

Recently, the URE18 drove its first public laps at our Rollout. This wouldn't have been possible without our partner DAF! DAF offered us a testing location on their property, where we got to practice driving our brand new URE18 race car before we got to show it to the world. Thank you DAF Trucks NV for your support as our partner! #Eindhoven #TUEindhoven #EngineeringStudent #StudentTeam #RacingTeam #FormulaStudent #Formula1 #RaceCar #DAF #DAFtrucks
