Starting in August 2006, Formula Student Germany will be held on the grounds at Hockenheim.  Dr. Ludwig Vollrath described the motives of the Verein Deutscher Ingeniure (VDI) in realizing the goal of having a Formula Student Germany: "The competition attracts excellent young engineers.  German industry and universities also stand to profit from it."

The rules and regulations will be based on those of the FS competition so that other teams can also participate in international competitions.

The actual date of the event should be determined by the end of 2005, as it is dependent on the Formula 1 schedule at Hockenheim.
