Significant milestone for HWA RACELAB at the fifth FIA Formula 3 event in Budapest: In the first race of the weekend, Jake Hughes (Great Britain) reaches the rostrum for the second time this season – and then completes the first Formula 3 double podium for HWA RACELAB with a third-place finish in race two. In addition to this historic success, Bent Viscaal (Netherlands) and Keyvan Andres (Iran) also deliver impressive chasing performances at the Hungaroring.

#HWAstalavista - this was the motto, with which HWA RACELAB went into its final race weekend in the ABB FIA Formula E Championship. And the farewell turned out to be a happy one. The final race of the season in New York City saw both Stoffel Vandoorne and Gary Paffett pick up points in eighth and tenth place respectively - just reward for themselves and the entire team for the development work they have done over the course of the season.

HWA RACELAB driver Jake Hughes (Great Britain) finished in the points again at round four of the FIA Formula 3 Championship in Silverstone. The winner from Spielberg finished ninth in Saturday's opening race at his home Grand Prix. In doing so, Hughes picked up a further two points in the championship. The team from Affalterbach failed to enjoy the same success on Sunday.

HWA RACELAB narrowly missed out on the points in a wild first race at the final event of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship in New York City. Gary Paffett was the victim of several questionable manoeuvres and eventually crossed the finishing line in eleventh place. Stoffel Vandoorne ended the action-packed E-Prix in 13th place. The team from Affalterbach still has one chance to finish its first season with a happy ending.

HWA RACELAB is pursuing an extreme goal: The motorsport experts from Affalterbach have set their sights on competing in Extreme E, the racing series for fully-electric SUVs that is to be launched in 2021. This project sees HWA AG once again demonstrate its pioneering spirit, as Extreme E is a radical new sport and entertainment concept. The races take place in such regions as the Arctic, the Himalayas, the Sahara and the Amazon rain forest. As well as the competitive aspect, the intention is to also raise awareness of the effects of climate change on these delicate ecosystems.
