The 2011 Formula Student competition in Germany, held at the Hockenheim circuit took place between 2-7^th of August. In total there were six TeXtreme® reinforced cars competing in the combustion competition, and two teams in the electric competition.

Karlsruhe KIT won the FSE Business Plan Presentation Event, they were finalists in other events, and ended up on fifth place in the overall of 28 competing teams.

TU Fast München performed excellently in FSE Autocross and won that event and finished on a respectable fourth place in the overall.

In the combustion competition TU Fast München distinguished themselves as the runner up in the overall, which they also succeeded to do at Silverstone, an impressing even top performance. Karlsruhe KIT finished on a good ninth place in the overall.

The other participating teams also achieved some good results: Raceyard Kiel (University of Applied Sciences Kiel, Germany) finished on 14^th place, Baltic Racing Team (University of Applied Sciences Stralsund, Germany) ended up on place 30, Lions Racing Team (Braunschweig University of Technology, Germany) finished on 32^nd, and TUW Racing (Vienna University of Technology, Austria) finished on 43^rd place out of 75 competing teams.
