Cerber Motorsport came 4th in the final ranking of Formula Student Germany!

The German Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg race track brought good luck to the team of Cerber Motorsport! The CMS-08 car achieved a historic result in the final ranking, placing 4th in Formula Student Germany! The top teams from all over the world competed in this most prestigious competition. Thus, we ended the European racing season with a bang! The competition in Germany lasted from 15.08 to 21.08.2022.

This was the 5th and final series of racing competitions this season for the team from Bialystok University of Technology. Participation in Formula Student Germany brought us not only a high position in the final ranking, but also a finished Endurance race for the fifth time. This longest and most demanding dynamic competition is like the icing on the cake. It proves excellent skills of the drivers, but above all to the quality of the car. Adding up the kilometres covered by CMS-08 in all 5 events in the endurance competition alone gives a result of 110 km. This is no mean achievement considering the weather conditions – air temperature of 35 degrees and track temperature as high as 50 degrees!

The competition in Germany crowns our team’s rally on race tracks in Italy, the Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary and Germany. After 7 weeks of struggling with technology and their own capabilities, the Cerber Motorsport team finally returned home. A moment’s pause and our students will fight again… this time for their academic results in the new academic year 🙂

For the time being, we congratulate the team on finishing the racing season with so many successes and stirring such intense emotions! Students from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of Bialystok University of Technology, Faculty of Computer Science of Bialystok University of Technology, Faculty of Electrical Engineering of Bialystok University of Technology worked together on the CMS-08 car.

Here’s the summary of Formula Student Germany:

• Final ranking: 4th place. This result consisted of:
• Dynamic competitions:
  – Acceleration 5th place
