TU Graz Racing Team

The TU Graz Racing Team is the fastest student team of TU Graz! The team develops, designs and constructs racing cars to take part in the international Formula Student competitions.

TANKIA, the name of the TU Graz Racing Team, stands for There Are No Kangaroos In Austria. This is to avoid being mixed up with the competition from down under. There are around 50 team members and all are united by the one mission: to build the best Formula Student racing car!

Welcome to the fastest student team at TU Graz! The TU Graz Racing Team designs, constructs and manufactures a formula racing car year after year, which they then enter in Formula Student competitions and races worldwide.

Our team has a unique mixture of team spirit, motivation and success! Exactly this mixture has helped the TU Graz Racing Team become world leaders again and again in recent years. Learning by doing is extremely important to us, and this allows us to complement the theory. We inject momentum and excitement into the students’ everyday lives!

The young women and men on this team create something unique every year, and you can do it too! It doesn't matter if you’re a freshman or just getting ready to graduate. We offer everything from the fundamentals to the Bachelor’s and Master’s thesis. The door to the world of motor sports is open to you. We are always happy to welcome you in our office at Inffeldgasse 25D!
