Team Name : UH Racing
University : University of Hertfordshire
Class : Class 2
Country : United Kingdom

This year, being the 20th anniversary of the UH Racing Team, both Class 1 and 2 have worked closer and are looking to improve the teams results across both sides of the competition.

The Class 2 team has followed the Class 1 team in adding a turbocharger to the powertrain, with hopes of a large gain in performance, however the team has gone a step further in other areas. Namely, moving into the design phases of a hybrid monocoque chassis, not only aiding torsional stiffness, but also aerodynamics and an eventual reduction in weight. This proves to be the first steps to moving towards the real thing and the opportunity for the team to make the next large steps in performance.
