KU 2E-Racing team is a small multidisciplinary team with members from different years and courses within the Science, Engineering and Computing Faculty of Kingston University.
No student is rejected; all are accepted to our team to be given the opportunity to apply what they have learnt and improve their skills as engineers.
We are very successful for such a young team, improving every year. For the 2016 season, work closely with Class 1 to help our team members learn as much as possible about Formula Student and our project. Thus helping the team to develop and improve for future years.
