This is the third UWE Formula students class 1 submission. We have continued with our use of a single cylinder 450cc engine. This year’s design has a brand new differential and sub-frame assembly. The team consists of 30 members from a variety of different courses throughout the university.
We owe special thanks to this years sponsors, which include Precision Line Products, R.S components, Components and Totectors, Engineering Integration and Autosport Bearings.
We hope to be this years the most improved class 1 team and continue improving, becoming an ever more established team.
