Oxford Brookes Racing is a diverse multinational team supported by both undergraduates and postgraduates. Just to mention a few, team members originate from England, Scotland, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Zimbabwe, Canada, India, China and America. This will be the second of three competitions that the team will attend this year, whilst being the only UK team to attend the Michigan event. This year’s car has been a radical change to previous evolutions resulting in a car far different to those previously produced by Brookes. Sticking with the usual Oxford Brookes Racing’s design philosophy, the KTM 530 EXC has been retained to produce a light weight car designed within the manufacturing scope of the team members. Emphasis has been placed upon ease of manufacture and drivability.
