University of Glasgow

UGRacing’s Class 1 entry consists of around 20 undergraduate engineers from the University of Glasgow, ranging from first to fifth years.

This year’s entry is coming off the back of a disappointing 2016 event where an ECU failure stopped participation in dynamic events, resulting in their main focus this year being placed on reliability. The vehicle weight has been significantly reduced, mainly due to the team’s first full carbon fibre body work and an overhaul of the drivetrain system. A simpler and more reliable design has been taken for both the suspension and electronic systems to ensure reliability. UGRacing would like to take this opportunity to thank their partners who have made it possible for the team to compete this year. In particular, the University of Glasgow, Arnold Clark, and Howco who have all been major supporters of the team for several years.
