Team Profile:
Oxford Brookes Racing is once again one of the most international teams in the Formula Student Competition, with team members representing 15 different nationalities. The team is continuing to develop their unique folded monocoque chassis concept, and have made big strides in engine development this year with an increased displacement single cylinder. We have also introduced a front & rear wing aerodynamic package and CFRP suspension components. With the aim of significantly increasing testing mileage the team hopes to improve both reliability & driver seat time, and will be looking to challenge for the #1 UK title at this year’s event.

Additional Information
The OBR team is made up of students representing 15 different nationalites.
OBR’s driver George Simmons (White helmet with Red race suit) crashed the team’s van earlier in the year causing £500 of damage! (Joking about this will be more than welcome, hopefully I won’t crash at comp! – George)
In 2013 the team retired in the Endurance event due to disqualification. This was caused by combustion in the silencer causing it to fail, and therefore the noise levels increasing to well over the permitted 112db.
