Team Profile
Brunel Racing is having its hardest year for many years with minimal workshop access for the majority of the year and reduced support from the university. However the strength of the team has really shone through with dedicated team members and helpful sponsors really pulling the project back on track. This will be Brunel Racings 13th year of competing in Formula Student and the hopes are as high as ever. BR13 is the fourth iteration of the hybrid aluminum honeycomb monocoque/rear spaceframe chassis, which this year incorporates a closed back to further increase chassis stiffness.
Brunel Racing would like to thank DNA Performance filters, Bosch, Forest Environmental and all our other sponsors without whom this year would really not have been possible.
Brunel Racing have a new Technician, Robert Driver. Son of the South African Formula 1 driver Paddy Driver. He has been instrumental in holding this team together.
The build process of this car did not start till Easter due to the University delaying “essential” workshop renovation. This car has been built very last minute.com!
