As part of the Formula Student, students independently built new racing cars every year which compete in various disciplines. The Kaiserslautern Racing Team, founded in 2007, has developed and constructed a racing car under Formula Student regulations every year since their foundation. At first, vehicles with combustion engines were built, until in season 2011/2012, the change to electric engines was realized. One of the main objectives for the second electric vehicle (season 2012/2013) was a weight reduction by 100 kg, which required adjustments in all components. For the chassis, this meant a change from 13 to 10 inch rims which were to be bought from a commercial vendor.
