Team Profile

The University of Liverpool Formula Student Team began competitive life in 2005 and are this year showcasing their tenth race car, ULM010. ULM Racing is built upon evolutionary improvement and advances are embodied in the design of the new vehicle: a car which is based upon performance, driveability, and reliability.

The team, comprising primarily of third and fourth year mechanical engineering students, have focused their efforts in the areas of aerodynamics, data acquisition and weight reduction. ULM010, powered by a Yamaha R6, has integrated a full aerodynamic package with a focus on validation, and a comprehensive sensor system using a National Instruments CompactDAQ.

Other key features include a removable rear sub-frame, carbon fibre composite intake, custom wet sump, and Cosworth SQ6 ECU – all acting to provide a robust and efficient powertrain. ULM010 also features newly integrated OZ Racing magnesium wheels to reduce unsprung weight and deliver a more responsive suspension system.

The team would like to extend their gratitude to the ULM sponsors, without them the construction of the car would not be possible.
