Formula student is the world\u2019s largest Engineering design competition, organised by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers<\/a>, with the challenge of designing, manufacturing and racing a single seat race car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through multiple events, cars are judged on their acceleration, handling and efficiency, while engineers are assessed for their design, costing and business presentation skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current UWE student engineers and alumni from 2020 took part in the UK event which was held at the Silverstone race circuit in Northampton between the 21st<\/sup> and 25th<\/sup> of July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although hampered by a few technical issues, a successful event was had by the team. Including a 1st place in skid pad<\/a>, runner-up in both the 1km sprint<\/a>, and cost & manufacture events<\/a>, and 5th<\/sup> in the business plan presentation. Resulting in a final placing of 6th overall<\/a> and a fantastic time being had by all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations #teamUWE<\/a> we’re extremely proud of your achievements this year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
