Team profile
This car has been 2 years in development by a small and dedicated team of students from across the University of Limerick’s range of engineering and technology courses.
Simplicity has been the key design goal for this car. As the saying goes, in order to finish first, first you must finish.
It’s been a tough road to get here, especially after the untimely death of our Faculty Lead, Dr. Christy Gillick early in April of this year. This car is dedicated to his memory.
Our thanks go to the Faculty of Science and Engineering in UL for their financial assistance on this project.
