Having successfully completed UBRacing's 13th car testing got underway at Bruntingthorpe proving ground. The car's first outing was a great success as the team were able to run a full endurance events distance and give four drivers a practice without any major problems. Most importantly the ATL racing fuel cell and compressed air cylinder (required for the pneumatic gearshift) proved large enough to perform their respective duties over a simulation of the competitions longest event. After testing the car was brought back to Birmingham for a thorough rebuild to assess any wear or damage ahead of FSUK. Unfortunately a problem with the rear hubs was discovered rendering them unfit for the rigours of competition. Thankfully our CNC Machining Partner - Mazak were able to provide replacements in under 36 hours, ensuring that the weekends racing was not unduly affected.

Friday 2nd July saw the successful launch of this year's Formula Student entry from the University of Birmingham, UBR13.
The car, which will compete as number 61 at the Formula Student events at Silverstone and Hockenheim this summer, was unveiled in Chancellor's Court by John Liverton, Manager of Design Engineering at Yamazaki Mazak UK, and UBR Team Leader Robin Langhorn. In a short speech before the car was uncovered, John confirmed Mazak's continued sponsorship of the team into next season, recognising the continuing value of Formula Student in developing the engineering and management skills of undergraduate students.
We were delighted to welcome so many sponsors, alumni, friends and family of UBRacing to the event. If you were unable to join us on the day, a selection of photos of the launch can be found here.
Thanks again to all of our sponsors who have supported us throughout this season, we truly appreciate all the help you give us. If you would like a hi-res image of any of the photos, please contact us on
