Heriot-Watt University

Following the best dynamic result in the team’s history in 2016, HWR-07 is an evolution of their previous car and is HWRacing’s sixth Class 1 entry.

Founded in 2009, HWRacing is a small team consisting of 16 dedicated team members from the disciplines of Mechanical, Chemical, Electronic Engineering and Robotics. The team works hard to maintain a high level of document control. This year, the team has focused on maintaining the reliability of their previous car while performing design optimisation on key areas such as suspension, engine and drivetrain. Repackaging of the rear of the car will bring a significant mass reduction. A redesigned exhaust system together with a highly developed engine map will bring a more responsive powertrain. The electrical team has developed their own bespoke data acquisition system this year, a first for the team. HWRacing would like to thank the School of Engineering & Physical Sciences and the Annual Fund at Heriot-Watt. They would also like to thank all their partners and sponsors for providing the support required to make their entry possible.
