UH Racing is based at the University of Hertfordshire 10 miles north of London. We having been competing in Formula Student UK since the competitions inception in 1998.
Our latest car, UH19, will be the 19th internal combustion car we have produced and the 23rd overall. The most significant change to our concept this year is the move to a twin-cylinder Honda CBR500 with a custom sump manufactured in-house. UH19 will feature a much more aggressive aerodynamics package from previous years, as well as major changes to the suspension geometry, chassis. This includes a move to push rod suspension on the rear of the vehicle, and an aluminium bulkhead on the rear of our space-frame chassis.
The team will also be machining our own brake callipers in-house. We would like to thank all our partners for their continued support, without whom UH19 would not be possible.
