Welcome to www.ubracing.co.uk, home of the University of Birmingham Formula Student team.
2010 marks UBRacing’s 13th year of competition in Formula SAE events with our team of 1st to 4th year undergraduate mechanical and electronic engineering students looking to build on the progress of 2009 and produce the most successful car yet, competing at Formula Student UK and Formula Student Germany.
2009 saw the team produce its lightest and most powerful car to-date. After a difficult UK competition, we earned the best Formula Student Germany result in the team’s history, finishing 19th of 78 competing teams and 3rd UK University. We have a good carryover of personnel for 2010 and are looking to put our experience to good effect.
UBRacing is proud of its 2009 achievements and looking forward to building on this in 2010. Thank you to all our sponsors and technical partners, we couldn’t do it without you.

UBRacing were delighted to be invited to take part in a demonstration of Formula Student cars during the Autumn Classic event at Prescott Hillclimb on the 26th-27th September. Danny Fennell and Alex Coignac-Smith took UBR 12 (#14) on 5 runs up the hill over the course of the weekend, with the car running faultlessly on its first outing since Formula Student Germany.
We hope you will enjoy the short video clip below, although there is a lot of vibration it still gives an impression of what the car is like to drive
