Warwick Racing are a student run racing team who design and build single seat race cars for participation at international competitions. In the past we have competed not only at the UK competitions, where we achieved 3rd Overall with 2nd in Design for Class 2 last year, but have traveled to Germany and even as far as Australia! Abroad, we competed against teams from all over the world and reached an international audience.
The role of developing a car to compete in Formula Student has now become available to all Warwick students, allowing students of all degree streams and all years to take part. As a result of this our team has grown to more than 600 members, allowing them all to get involved in the design, manufacture and testing our vehicles. Our newly founded business team has a big attraction and has introduced marketing, sponsorship and finance roles to the team which have helped hugely in our rapid expansion.
"In order to have clean air in cities, you have to go electric" - Elon Musk
Elon Musk, one of the greatest modern inventors, is talking about the need for electric cars to create a clean viable environment. The technologies and products of tomorrow will be designed to be green, eco-friendly and sustainable. This is clear to see in the automotive industry with nearly every car manufacturer designing and creating new electric vehicles. The rise of Formula E and the phasing out of IC car production in countries such as China, France and the UK another clear indictor of this trend.
But it all starts from the roots, Warwick Racing are aiming to be the first ever UK University to design, manufacture and race an electric car at the Formula Student UK competition that completes all Dynamic events. Educating the next generation of engineers in electric vehicle technology and giving them the platform to innovate and create new technologies for the future.
We all know the future is electric.
With your help we can create a more sustainable, greener and cleaner future.
The crowdfunding goal of £10,000 will allow us to attend UK competition with the best chance of completing all dynamic events. The donations will go towards:
Your donations will not only help our team to build the car but also help develop the next generation of innovators and creators!
