Introduce your team briefly.
We are the GreenLion Racing Team and are based in Wuppertal, a city in Germany. Our maxim is to “Be visionary. Be involved. Be a lion.”
Tell us about your team’s history with Formula Student.
The Team was founded in 2012 and qualified for the Formula Student in the same year. We aimed to participate, however our car surpassed this hope and we ranked 37th. In the following year we improved and achieved rank 35, our highest rank so far. Until 2016 we faced a lot of technical difficulties and after that we had to deal with a high member fluctuation. This year we work under a newly formed leadership, with new lions that are roaring for success.
