Team Profile
Leeds Formula Race Team comprises of 18 master’s students completing their final year dissertation on the car, alongside a number of bachelor students. This year the team have been more ambition than ever, with a strong team of talented and motivated engineers. Having been in the competition since 1997, the wealth of knowledge at the University of Leeds has allowed the team to create the most sophisticated car yet. Having redesigned nearly every aspect of last year’s vehicle, reliability is key, with the engine clocking over 12 hours on a dyno prior to completion of the chassis. A strict time scale has been implemented to ensure for maximum testing of the vehicle prior to competition.
This year the team has created a base from which success can be bred in coming years which would not have been possible without the help of our sponsors:
