René has recently been the technical manager of the Seat Leon Supercopa racing series, and through this has acquired a lot of experience with these vehicles. It was therefore logical that he would choose a Seat for his Master’s thesis. Werner Cvetko made his Seat Leon Supercopa GT available and the car was equipped with a complete STACK Ltd. Data System.

To top off his career, since September 2010 René Eder has been studying at Oxford Brookes University in England to get an MSc in Motorsport Engineering & Management.
Because not everyone can study in Oxford, he had to pass some entrance tests and fulfil the conditions of very good language skills and a thorough knowledge of motor sports. Even though he René never took ´A‘ levels, he was still accepted into this elite university. So far he has passed all his exams with good results and even a few distinctions. He is writing his thesis on the topic of Race Engineering, Data Acquisition and Analysis, and Laptime Simulation.
