InMotion is a student team focused on electric racing and fast charging. InMotion is based in Helmond and is composed mostly of students from the Eindhoven University of Technology and Fontys University of Applied Sciences.
History
The team was founded in 2012 by Albert Maas under the guidance of Maarten Steinbuch.[4] In 2017, the Fusion, the team’s first car, was built.[5] The Fusion is an electric formula car and holds the electric lap record in Circuit Zandvoort,[6] Circuit Zolder[7] and TT Circuit Assen.[8] After the Fusion, the team developed an endurance race car, the Vision. Currently the team is working on a new car, a Ginetta G58 (also known as LMP3 style), which has their Electric Refueling technology and is going to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, in the Garage 56 class.[9][10]
Fusion
The InMotion team launched its first full electric racing car in 2016. The car was based on the former Formula Bio car has been built on a carbon fiber chassis. The full electric engine has a better power to weight ratio compared to a Formula E car.[11] The car made its track debut at Circuit Zandvoort during the 2016 Masters of Formula 3 event. Drivers Xavier Maassen and Jan Lammers gave the car a shakedown.[12] In 2017 USF2000 driver Rinus van Kalmthout did a straight line test at the Automotive Campus Helmond test track (part of the A270 motorway). During the year the team improved track records for electric cars at two tracks. Beitske Visser improved the record at Zandvoort.[13] Testdriver Maassen beat the track record for electric cars at Circuit Zolder, previously held by Bert Longin in a Tesla Roadster.[14] Currently, the Fusion is an electric formula car and holds the electric lap record in Circuit Zandvoort,[6] Circuit Zolder[7] and TT Circuit Assen.[8]
