This year’s team is mostly made up of 2nd year Motorsport Engineering students, we’re building on our experiences from last year’s Class 1 Entry (our first formula student entry) to enter a competitive Class 2 entry for 2016 which will form the basis of our 2017 design for Class 1.
This years design is a result of the aspects we learned from last years competition, evolving the vehicles concept as a whole while also introducing new concepts/details that aim to improve the car, creating a more competitive and innovative vehicle.
