The fact that the smallest, weight-saving details are important in racing is demonstrated by the Speeding Scientists Siegen. The racing team from the University of Siegen, which takes part in the Formula Student racing series for young academics with its racing car called "Molly", uses quick-fastening elements from ACE to effectively decouple the power electronics from the chassis vibrations of the electrically powered racing car.
