The aim of Full Blue Racing this year is to produce a car that is low cost, yet fast and reliable. The team started the design in mid-August in order to achieve early build of the car so a sufficient amount of testing could be performed before the competitions.
The team keeps its no-compromise attitude towards design despite the tight schedule set. The major innovation this year lies in the hybrid chassis design, with an aluminium structure used at the rear to replace the original space-frame design to reduce weight as well as manufacturing time.
We have launched a new website and sponsorship brochure and held several publicity events to promote the team as well as the competition, which has proved to be very successful.
The FBR11 would not have been possible without our sponsors and supporters who have provided vital resources, advice and encouragement.
