Meet and Greet bei Schaeffler mit Teilnehmern des Nachwuchsingenieur-Wettbewerbs Formula Student und Vertretern des DTM-Meisterteams Phoenix Racing
DTM-Champion Mike Rockenfeller begeistert Nachwuchsingenieure bei Schaeffler
Auskunftsfreudige Motorsportprofis, engagierte Studierende und ein zufriedener Gastgeber. Das Meet and Greet im Hause Schaeffler mit Teilnehmern des motorsportlichen Nachwuchsingenieur-Wettbewerbs Formula Student und Vertretern des DTM-Meisterteams Phoenix Racing, inklusive des aktuellen Champions Mike Rockenfeller, war ein voller Erfolg.
Mehr als 100 Studierende von dreizehn deutschen Hochschulen freuten sich im Konferenzzentrum der Schaeffler Gruppe in Herzogenaurach ber namhafte G ste: DTM-Champion Mike Rockenfeller, dessen Teamchef bei Phoenix Racing Ernst Moser und Phoenix-Technikchef Chris van Rutten. Unter dem Motto Amateursport trifft auf Profisport hatten die angehenden Akademiker und Teilnehmer der Formula Student die Chance, Infos aus erster Motorsporthand zu erlangen.
Die Formula Student ist ein Konstruktionswettbewerb, bei dem Studierendenteams aus aller Welt mit selbst entworfenen und gefertigten Rennwagen gegeneinander antreten. Neben dem Vergleich auf der Rennstrecke geht es auch um eine optimale Kalkulation und geeignete Marketingaktionen. Bei der deutschen Rennveranstaltung Formula Student Germany vom 29. Juli bis 3. August 2014 auf dem Hockenheim-ring ist Schaeffler erstmals Hauptsponsor.
Erfolge im Motorsport sind eng verbunden mit dem K nnen jedes Einzelnen, aber vor allem mit Teamwork , so Prof. Dr.-Ing. Peter Gutzmer, Vorstand Forschung und Entwicklung der Schaeffler AG. Mit dem Engagement bei der Formula Student sind wir dicht dran an den Talenten, die wir uns sp ter als Mitarbeiter w nschen: Studierende, die Spa an Technik haben und die Projekterfahrung mitbringen, die man im universit ren Alltag nicht sammeln kann. Auch deshalb ist das Motorsport-Engagement seit Jahrzehnten wesentlicher Bestandteil der Markenstrategie von Schaeffler. Viele Teams der Formula Student unterst tzt Schaeffler bereits seit 2006 mit Know-how und Produkten.
Wissensdurst hatten die Studierenden auch in der Interviewrunde mit J rg Walz, Leiter Kommunikation und Marketing Automotive bei Schaeffler. Rockenfeller, Moser und van Rutten wurden intensiv zu ihrem technischen Fachwissen und zu ihren Erfahrungen im professionellen Motorsport befragt. Talent ist das eine, aber man braucht auch das entsprechende Material, ein Team, die n tige Unterst tzung und nat rlich Ehrgeiz, um es bis nach oben zu schaffen , so die Einsch tzung von Rocky in puncto Gestaltung einer erfolgreichen Rennfahrerkarriere. Der Audi-Pilot muss wissen, wie es geht: Mit Schaeffler als Hauptsponsor seines DTM-Autos holte er 2013 nicht nur den Fahrertitel, sondern auch den Teamtitel mit Phoenix Racing.
Am Ende der Veranstaltung gab es unter den Protagonisten ausschlie lich zufriedene Gesichter. F r die Studierenden war es ein au ergew hnliches und motivierendes Erlebnis auf dem Weg ihrer beruflichen Laufbahn und auch Stargast Mike Rockenfeller wusste nur Positives zu berichten: Ich bin immer aufgeregt, wenn ich zu meinem Sponsor Schaeffler komme. Das sind die Farben, f r die ich fahre. Und es hat mir sehr viel Spa bereitet, den Studierenden auf ihrer weiteren Reise zu helfen.
