Team Bath Racing’s 2016 team (TBR16) is made up of 25 final year undergraduate engineering students from the University of Bath.
Since forming, TBR16 has made it their goal to win Formula Student UK 2016. This clear objective has driven all design and business decisions, and led to what is to be a highly competitive car.
Winning the Class 1 event was recognised a significant step up Class 2, thus key design decisions were re-assessed with new information. Targeting beating the times of the 2015 winners, numerical metrics were set to ensure the dynamic performance of TBR16 will be world class.
Key design features include an all new CFRP monocoque/space frame chassis, custom 10″ carbon wheels, full aerodynamic package and an turbocharged KTM single cylinder powertrain producing 76HP.
The second key target for the team was to complete the manufacture of the car to allow for 3 months of testing. This will ensure the full dynamic potential of the car will be realised, and ensure reliability.
Having met our objectives, TBR16 looks forward to the opportunity to test our car against the best in the world.
