What gives us the motivation, to sleep three hours in three days?

The Team.

... being an engineer is more than a job.

For us... ... teamwork is everything that matters.

... the practical application of studiedtheory is important.

KA-RaceIngoffers...

... the unique chance to attend a projectfrom the first concept until the finished

product.... excellent contacts to industry andresearch.

And last butnot least... ... a lot of fun!
