Team Profile
Returning to Class 2 in 2013, UWE Racing are back with a new design and fresh ambition to place well within the top ten class 2 entries. The 2013 team includes students from across all engineering disciplines as well as from the business school, ranging from those in their first year to those in their final year of Masters study.
This academic year has seen the team overcome challenges, working tirelessly to build on the success of the 2012 competition, and leave a solid foundation for a Class 1 entry in 2014.
As a team funded largely through sponsors and donations, UWE Racing would like to thank ProTech Shocks, RELAYS Southwest, H Engineering Motorsport and Studwelders for their support in 2013.
