Team Profile
This is UWE Formula students second class 1 submission. We have a brand new car designed from scratch with many improvements from last years looking at more aerodynamic bodywork and a more complex rear drive system complete with a brand new sophisticated differential and subframe assembly. The team consists of 70 members from a variety of different courses throughout the university. We owe special thanks to our sponsors this year which include Arthur Spriggs, Morgan Marine, Serck and Autosport Bearings. We hope to become the most improved class 1 team this year and look forward to becoming more competitive as the years progress.
