Team Profile:

HWRacing has taken a year out from competing at FS UK in order to develop our team and build a solid engineering foundation through promoting knowledge transfer and good communication within the team. We are proud to present our new concept car, HWR16, for a Class 2 entry in FS UK 2015.

With HWR16, several systems have been developed from previous entries, including: a lighter drivetrain, a dry sump system which lowers our car’s centre of gravity significantly and also a fully redesigned chassis. We intend to manufacture HWR16 after summer 2015, presenting our Class 1 entry in 2016.
