Team Profile
We are the Drive Formula Student team from the University of Dundee, this our 8th time at Silverstone and our sixth car. We are a small but proud team and take pride in the fact that we can build cars on such small budgets and small team size. Some of the bigger teams should try to replicate what we do with our resources!
Our car is designed to be simple and actually be built towards what we think the competition is about, building a car that could be sold for not too much money to an amateur weekend racer. The big teams with their all carbon fibre cars are not following the idea of Formula Student.
We have designed the car to be simple to construct and maintain, but it is the first car that will have fuel injection instead of a carburettor. Hopefully our electrics survive.. they are never our strongest point!
Our team is small, with around 14 members but we are always produce cars we are proud of.
