Season Highlights 2024 – Running Snail Racing Team

The 2024 season was an outstanding time for the Running Snail Racing Team, full of challenges, innovations and significant successes. As the year began, our focus was on the production and integration of our new electrical systems. Thanks to the close cooperation with our partners, especially EurocircuitS, we were able to achieve our ambitious goals and successfully complete our vehicle, the RS24.

Milestones in the production phase

The production phase of our new racing car is the cornerstone for a successful season. Particularly noteworthy is the completion of our 600V HV battery, which, in combination with the self-developed AMS, was one of the most technically challenging aspects of the project. Supported by EurocircuitS first-class semiconductor boards, the board production went smoothly. This collaboration allowed us to maintain the highest quality standards and focus on precise post-production inspection and commissioning.

Another major step forward was the production and integration of the wiring harness into the monocoque. This central task was completed with care and precision.

Post-season tests and experiences

Parallel to the production and commissioning of the RS24, we took the opportunity to gain valuable insights from post-season tests with the RS23. These tests were virtually problem-free from an electrical engineering perspective and gave our team the opportunity to optimize existing systems and gain valuable experience for the racing operation of a Formula Student vehicle.

The path to the event phase

With the successful completion of the production phase, we turned our full attention to preparing for the events. An important step here was the thorough testing and optimization of every single electrical component. Safety checks, fine-tuning and repeated test runs of the scrutineering helped us to prepare the RS24 optimally for the events in the Czech Republic, Hockenheim and Italy.

Thanks to the outstanding work of our electrical team and the support of our sponsors, we were also able to implement innovative designs such as the new battery container made of Aramid.

Prospects and thanks

Our 2024 season ends with a strong foundation for the coming years. The rollout of the RS24, the subsequent test phases and the successful participation in international events are proof of the strength and sacrifice of our team.

We are looking forward to the next season with great anticipation and would like to thank all our supporters who have accompanied us on this journey. Together, we have proven that innovation, precision and team spirit are the basis for success.
