This year celebrates the University of Hertfordshire’s 20th anniversary competing at Formula Student since its inception in 1998.

The 2017 contender will aim to continue UH Racing’s strong heritage by improving on last year’s 9th place with a podium result. UH20 will be the 20th internal combustion car and the 24th overall. The main focus this year was to increase the power and drive-ability of the existing power unit by implementing a turbo charger system. This all whilst still maintaining the reliability that saw UH19 finishing all dynamic events at all of its competitions last summer. This year has seen a huge advance in machined components such as student designed aluminium brake calipers as well as a custom electronic gear shifting mechanism and multiple drivetrain components. Their team consists of a mixture of 31 new and returning students from a diverse range of backgrounds, combining experience, a new way of thinking and innovation.
