The UH racing team is a strong, well bonded and healthy team on the up. Having been in the competition since its beginning, experience is broad and wide and creates a great environment. Using our extensive computer labs, softwares and our Cruden simulator, our car will be designed thoroughly and virtually tested to find the vehicles performance. Running in tandem with the Class 1 team helps both parties get the most from the competition logistically and in design. A move to a new more powerful Honda CBR500 engine and new and improved aerodynamics will complete the upgraded package that was successful in class one last year.
