Team Profile

The UGRacing 2 team started out as an apprenticeship for the University of Glasgow formula student team. All team members are starting out for the first time, but made it their goal to design a full car to enter the competition. The teams design philosophy focused on a simplistic, reliable platform to develop in the future. The car features a simplified aero package, beam axle suspension, 10” wheels, a chain and sprocket, and a variable length engine intake. The overall goal of the team was to gain valuable experience by designing a car that will be the basis for next years entry.
