FINDINGS

Earning engineers' trust to unlock true collaborative potential.
Shaping a brand on and beyond the race track.
Leading the strategic change towards a fully electric team.

The design department creates a consistent outward appearance of joanneum racing starting with the visual identity that is then put to work on the car itself and in almost every aspect of the team.

A strong identity was forged through graphics, hardware, apparel, photography and video production. And in a series of strategic workshops the team has been preparing for it’s next steps and the electric era

The jrNXT originated from these discussions about the team’s near future. In workshops members across departments discussed how electrification, autonomy, and sustainability will effect the formula student.

The concept car includes the bolide itself, a racing simulator and a VR headset. This remot-o-posto, the combination of self-driving and pilot-driven racing elements promises a fully new racing experience.

The jrNXT channels the ongoing technical development of joanneum racing graz and was developed in close collaboration with the engineers. It took first place at the 2020 "FSAE Italy - design for future" competition.
