Team profile
The FBR14 is Full Blue Racing’s 6th entry to the FSUK competition.
The team now comprises of over 40 members from the engineering, maths, science and humanities faculties and would not be able to carry on without the help of over 30 different sponsoring companies.
Building on the most successful year to date in 2012, we decided FBR will run a two year cycle; developing the design and manufacturing over the first year, followed by assembly and testing the next.
Our aim is to continue our success at this years event with the FBR14 after achieving our best ever result at FSUK13, finishing 5th in the Class 2 event.
Our focus has been to design a highly reliable and low-weight solution, with the car manufactured well in advance of competition to allow for extensive testing.
With this new arrangement, one that suits the relatively young team, we hope that FBR will finally reach its potential and move up the competition rankings.
