UBRacing has recently formed a fantastic new partnership with Rainforest Graphics and Sureguard Window Films.  Both compnaies are run by Rob Hannon who is the godfather of one of our new team members, Andrew Mather. They have very kindly agreed to supply the team with all the graphics and promotional tools they need which includes: Pull Up Roller Banners, A Pop Up Information Stand and all the Decals and stickers for the cars bodywork.
 
We are very grateful for their support and they will definitely give the team a great visual impact.

We are very pleased to announce that Dunlop Motorsport have continued their sponsorship of UBRacing into 2010 by supplying us with 3 sets of Formula Student slick tyres free of charge. Added to the teams existing tyres we now have the sets required for the programme of testing and competitions in the summer.

With budgets tighter than ever we are very grateful for Dunlop's support and look forward to working with them in the future

It is my pleasure to announce that this year’s chassis design has been completed and construction has commenced. We are very grateful for the continued support of both Duright Engineering and Midtherm Laser who have laser cut the chassis tubes and assembly jig respectively. The tubes arrived on Tuesday with a view to begin assembly next week.

The design was completed just before Christmas and is an evolution of previous years’ boasting a more compact design and a lower centre of gravity.

We will keep you updated on further progress and hopefully have pictures of a fully assembled chassis very soon!

In the meantime here are some pictures of the finished design and the early stages of construction.

Good Morning and a Happy New Year to you all.

We hope you all had a very relaxing and enjoyable Christmas period.

We would like to update you on the first achievement of the year which is we have successfully managed to register for the Formula Student Germany Competition 2010.

This year saw the process change and teams having to complete a quiz on the rules before being successful in registering.

We hope this early success will be a sign of things to come in the rest of the year.

Once again thank you to all our sponsors for your continued support in the project.

Kind Regards

Robin Langhorn
