0 to 100 KPH in 3.3 Seconds! NTHU Builds Electric Formula Student Race Cars with GIGABYTE
Representing Hsinchu’s Tsing Hua University, NTHU Racing is one of Taiwan’s top Formula Student racing teams. In 2019, its electric formula student race car, the “TH04”, took second place in Formula SAE Japan. In August of 2022, its new and improved, 100% manufactured in Taiwan “TH06” raced for the gold in Formula Student Germany. Tsing Hua University built the “TH06” using GIGABYTE Technology’s W771-Z00 and W331-Z00 Tower Server/Workstation products. From finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling and analysis during the design phase, to racing simulations and experimenting with new tech during the testing phase, GIGABYTE servers provided NTHU Racing with the processing power and versatility it needed to engineer a high-performing electric vehicle that can go from 0 to 100 kph in 3.3 seconds—almost on par with Tesla’s Model S, which can go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds.
Design and Manufacturing: Enterprise-grade Computing Powered by AMD CPUs and GPUs
The powerful GIGABYTE W771-Z00 tower server/workstation brings enterprise-grade computing prowess straight to the desktop. NTHU Racing uses it for a lot of the heavy lifting during the design and manufacturing process of the electric formula race car, including computational fluid dynamics modelling and analysis, and finite element analysis.
Testing and Practicing: Excellent Versatility for Different Test Environments
The GIGABYTE W331-Z00 is a versatile tower server/workstation that offers convenient and optimal versatility. NTHU Racing runs racing simulations on it to test prototypes and prepare for electric vehicle racing. It also develops autonomous driving tech to prepare for future races designed for self-driving cars.
GIGABYTE is pleased to support NTHU Racing’s effort to develop groundbreaking formula student race cars with its advanced server products. The nurturing of bright young minds is in keeping with GIGABYTE’s long-term CSR, ESG, and SDGs-related efforts, as well as its corporate vision: “Upgrade Your Life”.
