Team Profile
For the 2015 Formula Student event, BCU Racing have designed and built the first ever aluminium monocoque for a Formula Student event. Our major design targets are low centre of gravity and low weight. This year we have moved to a lighter engine, and a lighter chassis construction method.
The highlight of this year’s car, apart from the chassis, is the very innovative front suspension system. Every subsystem of the car has been revised and redesigned, and the end product has very few similarities with the previous year’s car.
To overcome the challenges involved with designing and building the car, BCU Racing got help from a lot of external partners. We would like to thank all of our sponsors including CORE CNC, RS Components, Titan Motorsport, Hellermann Tyton, Braid, Ole Buhl Racing, Laserlines and Aquila Racing Cars.
We would also like to thank lecturers and support staff at Birmingham City University, for all their expertise and time they have taken to help us.”
