Our team consists of 12 enthusiastic engineers and charismatic individuals. What brings us all together as a successful team is our share of a common goal, and that is to finish in the highest position ever in UCL history at Silverstone. To do this our car has been substantially modified from last year to incorporate a paddle shift system and precise suspension geometry – only to name a few.
Our car has been built to easily withstand the most gruelling of events – the endurance race – whilst also having the speed to compete with the best that the world of Formula Student has to offer.
We are not only preparing the car for this event but our drivers have also been put under a strict training regime to be able to get the most out of the vehicle.
Our efforts were made a reality with the support of the Mechanical Engineering department at UCL, with special thanks to our supervisor Dr Kevin Drake and our Head of Department, Professor Ladommatos.
We are thoroughly looking forward to seeing how we compare on track, but most importantly, we are here to learn from our peers and also have a good time doing so!
