The RPX-01
With the RPX-01, we succeeded in designing, constructing and building our first Formula Student racing car from scratch within a year. With a mass of approx. 375 kg (without driver), the RPX-01 is a real heavyweight in Formula Student, but it provides a solid foundation for extensive test drives and the subsequent development of the successor vehicles.
The development goal of this vehicle was first and foremost to build a functional car. As this is Team RPM’s very first vehicle, the team has no data or experience from previous years to fall back on. The safety features of the car were therefore selected in such a way that the components should not show any signs of fatigue even well beyond the typical life cycle of a Formula Student vehicle.
