4k video!?!?

Some more behind the scenes of some of our work this week if you missed the stories!

More cool videos to come from us!

PASSED!

Our first in house designed impact attenuator for the car has passed its structural integrity test! Using our chassis front bulkheads welded by @ironladymetal , the chassis team visited the impact centre at @cranfielduni for testing to ensure it meets the required regulations to compete at sliverstone this year!

Suspension tested!

The team went to test suspension at quantum racing. Thanks for all your help!

We had a great time at teen tech, showcasing our techniques to future engineers. See you next year! 🏎🏁

Its official, Sussex Racing's first ever working EV. She may not be fast, and it may be the day after Silverstone, but none the less this is an amazing achievement. The team have put so much work into the car this year and we are so incredibly proud.

Global Technologies Racing Ltd !

We were given the opportunity to experience the industry behind crafting composites for F1.

Thank you for hosting us, it was an amazing experience

Finished tacking up the chassis. Next up, full welding!

Welcome to our upgraded workshop, in the newly renovated John Clifford West garage.

This is where race cars are built and champions are made.

Well done to our electric team, the motor is up and running. Next up spinning wheels 🛞🛞

What a great experience!

Thank you to @torusmotorsport for giving us the opportunity to work alongside them for some Race Engineering experience in the Monoposto Championship.

Round 3 & 4 at Silverstone was tough, but an invaluable learning experience for the team.

Round 5 & 6 at Donington next!

An insightful and entertaining Health and Safety training day for the team!

CPR, how to recognise different First Aid emergencies and protocols in different scenarios were all covered in a 1-day course, and plenty of fun was had throughout!

Massive thanks to Katie at Nuco Training for providing us with a memorable and informative course.

What an amazing experience!

Some of the team visited Prodrive with Sussex Racing's previous Team Leader @faarissheikh who kindly offered us a tour of their facilities.

We've learned a lot about what it's like to work as a graduate in industry and got to see some great cars while we were there!

Say hi to the new(ish) Sussex Racing Team!

We've been very busy working on our latest car, the SR23! 🏎🏎

Keep an eye out for updates throughout the year or come say hi in our garage in JCW!

Here it as at Silverstone, SR-22 looking all shiny around the paddock. #formulastudent #sussexracing

A little photo dump from some work that's been taking place in the garage. 6 days to Silverstone! #sussexracing #formulastudent

The team's at Goodwood this weekend with our shiny new sim rig!

@formulastudent @imecheglobal @fosgoodwood #goodwood #formulastudent #sussexracing

With less than 3 weeks until the competition, the team's been clocking up the hours at the garage and we're excited to be seeing SR-22 nearing completion. Here's a little look at the brakes and suspension, with Jake gracefully modelling our new pink hats! #sussexracing #formulastudent #silverstone

Over the course of the academic year we have worked with the Widening Participation (WP) team on campus. Working with school children in areas under-represented for higher education, we have run a multitude of sessions around the subject of engineering and life @sussexuni. We look forward to continuing our relationship with WP and we wish the kids a great summer! #sussexracing #engineering

About Us

Sussex Racing is the Formula Student team representing the University of Sussex for the IMechE Formula Student competition. We are made up of passionate students eager to put our theoretical knowledge into practice by building the most competitive electric single seat race car to date.

Team Target

Our Target

Our best performance came with the SR21 which finished 15th overall out of 70 teams. We are looking to further improve on that foundation. Given the complexity of building an electric vehicle, our aim for the SR25 will be to complete all events. This will subsequently mean we finish in the top 5 of EVs. A bold and exciting target for our first running all-electric race car.
