UH Racing cars

Overview

UH18 was unveiled on 17 June 2015 as UH Racing’s 2015 Formula Student challenger, representing the culmination of months of hard work, dedication, and commitment from the entire team.

Built with a clear focus on weight reduction, UH18 was designed to be lighter, more refined, and more competitive than its predecessor. Alongside this philosophy of simplify and add lightness, the team concentrated on optimising key areas of the car, particularly the powertrain and aerodynamics package, to deliver improved overall performance.

Following its launch, UH18 underwent an extensive shakedown using facilities at the University of Hertfordshire, including the rolling road dyno and Park and Ride site, before further testing at the Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome and Proving Ground. This development work helped prepare the car thoroughly for competition.

Whilst a slight oil leak prevented it from finishing endurance at FSUK, UH18 went on to achieve an excellent result of 7th overall at Formula Student Germany, marking a significant success for the team and highlighting the quality of the car’s design, development, and execution.
