Team Profile
2015 Mobil 1 Team Sussex class 1 is a multi-disciplinary team consisting of 12 Mechanical and Automotive students, and 2 Electronic students.
Mobil 1 Team Sussex has competed in Formula Student Class 1 since 2009. This year we aim to improve on our previous best of 34th place in 2011 with a smaller, lighter and more powerful car.
The major advancements for our car (TS-15) come in the chassis and suspension area, where we have significantly decreased the mass of each component. With help from Torque Development International we have also produced a map that has increased the power output over last year’s car. We are also implementing wireless telemetry which will be beneficial in aiding the driver. We have successfully manufactured and assembled our car early in order to allow drivers to familiarise themselves with TS-15’s driving characteristics.
We would like to thank our sponsors who have been fundamental in helping us produce TS-15:

DHL
SSTL
