In the 2011 Formula College race, eight teams of cars used TeXtreme® to unroll a carbon fabric. The use of this material greatly reduced the weight of the car and improved its performance.
On average, the weight of most composite parts can be reduced by 30%, and some can be reduced by 50-60%. In the 2011 competition, the range and variety of components produced using TeXtreme® have increased. These include: nose, nose, side plates, side boxes, body bases, hoods, base plates, diffusers, seats, pedals Boards, pedals, batteries, battery management containers, wings and monocoques.
Formula students are the training ground for world-class engineers. University students from all over the world took part in the challenge of designing and building a single-seater racing car that was tested at the famous Silverstone and Hockenheim race tracks.
“TeXtreme® tow unfolds carbon fiber fabrics used to make ultra-light composites, so the team can significantly improve the performance of the race car and reduce the weight of the composite parts. We are pleased that TeXtreme® fabrics have contributed to this development. The young engineers in the team are very willing to accept this new innovative material and diligent in learning, they will lead the future development of composite materials. Therefore, we very much support providing them with a unique tow to unfold the carbon fiber fabrics," Oxeon chief executive Officer Henrik Blycker said.
The TeXtreme®-sponsored team in the 2011 race is:
Baltic Racing Team (Strasserund University of Applied Sciences, Germany)
Chalmers University Formula Team (Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden)
Clear River Racing Team (Karstad University, Sweden)
KA Racing Team (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany)
Lions Racing Team (Britain University of Technology, Germany)
Raceyard Kiel Racing Team (Kiel University of Applied Sciences, Germany)
Munich TU Fast Racing Team (University of Munich Technical University, Germany)
TUW Racing Team (Vienna University of Technology, Austria)
Oxeon wishes all the team games good luck.

About the Formula Student Car Contest
Formula Student Formula Racing is a social welfare project that is being carried out by the global automotive industry. It has become the most important social platform for non-education in the world to discover and cultivate high-end talent.
The Formula Student Auto Race (abbreviation: FS) is a competition for the design, manufacture, and use of cars that are attended by students from colleges and universities in automobile engineering or related majors. Each participating team designed and manufactured a small single-seater leisure car with excellent performance in terms of acceleration, braking, and handling in accordance with the rules and standards of the event. Through the exercise of the FS process, participating students can be fully improved in their capabilities in design, manufacturing, cost control, commercial marketing, communication, and coordination.
Measuring wheel also called mechanical ranging car or digital distance measuring wheel.it is widely used to measuring distance in professional surveying and mapping work,road engineering, landscape planning and design,golf course and lanes ect.
The instruction of digital measuring wheel

The wheel wrapped with rubber could help to avoid slipping so that the measuring data is more precise.
1.The main parts (From up to down):
Handle
Data display panel
Battery cover
Handle lock
Measuring wheel
Kickstand
2. Technical data:
A. It could measure up to 99999.9m/ft.
B. Accuracy:+/- 0.3%

3. Button and Operation
CLR: Clearance
SM : Store the data
ON/OFF: Switch
Rm: Extra the data
M/ft: Conversion between metric and foot
Data display panel
Power supply
The stored data
The displayed data
Metric
Foot
1. ON/OFF : Switch.
2. m/ft: it means the conversion between metric and foot. If you select (m), the displayed data is based on metric. If you select (ft) ,the displayed data is based on foot.
3. SM: Store the data. You could save the data that shows on the display panel by pressing this button. It could store 5 records that respectively show on M1, M2,M3, M4, M5.( Refer to Table 1)
Before storing After storing Full of the memory
(Table 1)
4. RM: Extract the stored data from SM. For example, if you have already stored the measuring data 5M as M1, 10M as M2. But now the measuring data is 120.7M, you could press the bottom RM once then the digital display panel will shows the the data of M1. The top right of the display panel shows [R". The data of the digital display panel will return to the present data after two seconds. ( Refer to Table 2). If you press the RM twice, the data of the M2 will show on the display panel, the [R" also is on the top right. The data of the digital display panel will return to the present data again after two seconds.
Present data Press the RM Once After 2 seconds
(Table 2)
Present data Press the RM twice After 2 seconds
(Table 3)
5. CLR: Clearance. Once you press this button, the present data will be deleted.
4.Precautions for use
Please open the handle lock to adjust the suitable height of this instrument at first and then close it before using the instrument. Put away the kickstand and turn on the power. Put the wheel on the road to be measured when the data is 0.0m on the digital display panel. Please press the bottom CLR if you want to delete the present data.
