Team Profile
DMU Racing is embarking on its second year at this years formula student competition. Learning from the short comings of our first attempt at building a formula student car, an overhaul of the design and build process has instigated with this years team. This was with the aim of improving the ease of manufacture of the whole car as well as improving the overall quality of the product.
The DMU02 has major changes in its chassis ans suspension designs which help improve on weight and handling/performance.This was with the view of creating maximum mechanical grip and improving overall drive-ability. The DMU02 uses the successful Honda CBR600RR engine giving a balance of performance and economy. The team is hoping to finish better placed than it achieved in last years event by completing all of the dynamic events with solid finishing positions.
