UGRacing consists of 1st to 4th year students in Mechanical, Aeronautical and Electrical disciplines. With 90% of the team experiencing their first year of FS, this year’s design was a learning exercise for the whole team.

The main aim this year is to establish a strong base in which the team can work from in further years.
