At Gotham, we firmly believe in innovation and performance, which is why we are proud to support the EPFL Racing Team, a dynamic and daring team that constantly pushes the boundaries of student motor racing. Their determination and passion for automotive engineering have paid off in this exceptional season.

The EPFL Racing Team presents its new electric racing car project.

On their return from their latest competition in France, the team demonstrated its know-how by passing all the technical inspections, proof of their mastery of the rigorous standards of competition. What’s more, the EPFL Racing Team took some bold strategic decisions, such as removing the rear wing, a move designed to maximise performance and guarantee their place among the best.

An impressive record for the season.

The EPFL Racing Team’s results bear witness to their excellence both on and off the track. Here’s an overview of their remarkable performances:

Results of the dynamic tests :

First successful endurance run with their flagship vehicle, Sirius, covering a distance of 22 km
???? 1st place in the Acceleration test, with a record time of 3.756 seconds
???? 1st place in the Efficiency test, demonstrating mastery of energy efficiency, a major issue in the world of modern motoring.

Results of static tests :

???? 2nd place in the Engineering Design Review, rewarding quality of technical design and innovation
???? 2nd place for the Business Plan, highlighting the team’s strategic and commercial approach
???? 3rd place at the Cost & Manufacturing Event, proving their ability to combine efficiency and profitability in the manufacture of their vehicle.

Every year, over the space of nine months, a group of 80 students design and build from A to Z a new electric car to take part in Formula Student, an international motor racing competition.

It’s a real honour for Gotham to support such passionate and innovative talent. Together, we can reach new heights! ????
