Team Profile
Kingston University has forged a name for itself in the TT Zero GP coming forth in 2013 and placing higher than any other university. It is therefore a natural step for the University to extend its remit into four wheeled ‘zero’ emission racing. Thus, wherever possible this vehicle has sourced and used components and materials which minimise the damage to the environment.
The team consists of seven members working together under a final year project to provide research and development for the Universities class I efforts. A bottom up design methodology was applied to result in a cohesive total system.
