NORMA Group sponsors engineered joining technology for formula racing team

Maintal/Friedrichshafen, Germany, 31 July 2014 - NORMA Group, a global
market leader in engineered joining technology, supports the Global Formula
Racing team, providing push and seal connectors as well as spring band hose
clips in various sizes for the new electric formula racing car GFR14e. The
team develops and constructs formula racing cars as part of an academic
research project and participates in students' racing events. The GFR14e
will first hit the road between 29 July and 3 August 2014 during the
international racing series Formula Student Germany (FSG) at the
Hockenheimring racing tracks. "We are excited that our high-quality and
weight-reducing joining technology products are used in a project that is
entirely about innovation and efficiency," says Werner Deggim, CEO of NORMA
Group.

The NORMAQUICK PS3 quick connectors and the NORMACLAMP (FBS) spring band
clips are used in the dual cooling system of the racing car's drive
components. It consists of two electric motors and two inverters. "We used
to connect the components with screwable hose clamps, however this proved
increasingly problematic during servicing. The NORMAQUICK connectors make
work on the cooling system quicker and more efficient," says Karl Klöss, a
member of the Global Formula Racing e.V. association. "We will continue to
use NORMA products going forward."

The Global Formula Racing team is a student collaboration of the technical
department of Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg-Ravensburg (DHBW-R) and
Oregon State University (OSU) in the context of the FSG racing series. The
team joined forces in 2010 in order to advance the development of formula
racing cars together. The objective is to construct vehicles that meet
highest standards of driving dynamics, fitness for racing and fuel
efficiency. Founded in 2009, the FSG racing series is committed to
complementing the academic curriculum of its participants with practical
engineering experience and exposure to the economics of vehicle
manufacturing.
