Team Profile
The 2015 SU racing car is a high performance vehicle with a low environmental impact and a seriously low cost. In order to achieve this, the vehicle is designed to use standard “off the shelf” parts wherever possible, integrated with specially designed interchangeable components in key areas, such as the suspension. Not only does this reduce manufacturing costs and lower production energy usage, it allows the enthusiast to run with a much smaller spare parts inventory than a conventional race car.
The parts interchangeability and modular assembly techniques used to construct the base vehicle offers the customer the opportunity to personalise the vehicle to their individual preferences, and this also permits the owner to tune the vehicle for different operating conditions, while working within their budgetary constraints.
This year our team is made up predominantly of foundation and first year students. Our 2 support Technicians, Dave and Dan are former students of the University, and former members of the Formula Student Team.
