For the first time in its history, High-Octane Motorsports e.V. participates at FSG with two cars. Besides the combustion vehicle FAUmax my, a second driverless combustion vehicle, the FAUmax athena was designed. It is based on the successful FAUmax lambda of 2018.
We completely built up a new team including a first for the High-Octane Motorsports e.V.: a software team. For the first time in the team’s history, we included a e-steering, e-throttle, e-clutch, and the emergency brake system. Furthermore, the car was updated with new sensors and computing units tailored for autonomous driving. FAUmax athena is the beginning of an exciting FS Driverless journey.
Overall Concept
The chosen concept is essentially based on the following points:
- Simple and reliable construction
- 16” Tires
- A CFRP full monocoque that contains the drivers cell, the engine and its
secondary systems to make a compromise between serviceability, high
integration and superior airflow - Longitudinally mounted KTM SX-F 450 engine with a displacement upgrade
up to 510 ccm, a compression ratio of 15.1:1 and increased torque
