Since 2022, the Formula Student team StarkStrom Augsburg has been relying on the powerful frameless motors from TQ to perfect their autonomous race cars. The brushless DC motor forms the core of their autonomous steering drive. In 2023, the team secured 1st place in the Driverless category at Formula Student East – a clear testament to the exceptional performance and reliability of TQ motors.

The motor from TQ allowed us to significantly reduce weight, which is extremely important in motorsports. Additionally, the large hollow shaft and frameless design of the BLDC motor offer maximum design flexibility – another crucial advantage in racing. «
