    The racetrack

    Go for it, old-timers!

    Breaking news : a car runs smoothly. Even when it’s been packed off to a museum for the rest of its days. We’ve got to take care of them, though, and not go out driving them madly. When they come out to race, it’s a real crowd-puller - like a mechanical version of feeding time at the zoo...

    Diva

    Shush, there she is, the star... She’s not fierce, but she can get on her high horse if she is not treated with respect.

  • Smart textiles

    Clever cloths

    When intelligent academics and students undertake research, you would expect equally intelligent results. And so we have “smart textiles”, which are studied at the Institut supérieur textile d’Alsace. These fabrics, into which electronic components are embedded, are most often found in the most advanced cars. If that isn’t Made in Alsace, what is?
