Team Profile:

For the eighth consecutive year, Clear River Racing is representing Karlstad University at the Silverstone circuit. This year with a team that consists of over 30% women.

The CRR15 race car has an aero package that is equipped with a pneumatic DRS. To lower the weight and increase reliability, the numbers of parts on the car have been kept to a minimum. For instance by integrating the hubs with the wheel centres and running a one cylinder KTM 500 EXC engine.

We are proud over the fact that we design and produce the majority of the vehicle ourselves in our well-equipped workshop.  Finishing 17th is the best result we have had at Silverstone so far, but with the new and improved CRR15, we see good potential of reaching high up on the scoreboards.
