THE TEAM
Our team structure breaks down into 5 sub-teams, 4 responsible for key design components of the car, and the commercial team. Here's some more information about each team's work and their members:
The SUbteams
Lucas Albery
Chief Mechanical Engineer
Lukas Hastings
Team Leader
Dan Barclay
Chief Electrical Engineer
CHASSIS
The main objectives of the chassis sub-team is to obtain optimal vehicle dynamic behaviour while retaining high standards for driver safety. Having the correct chassis set up, including brakes and steering, will be crucial in defining the characteristics of how the vehicle will handle and will allow Sussex Racing to chase excellent performance. Implementing the correct safety features is a large part of what the chassis sub-team do to protect the driver in the event of an incident.

Chassis Design
Impact Attenuator Design
Lazo Barzanji
Steering and Driver Ergonomics
Powertrain
The Powertrain team is tasked with designing and building an effective electric power system for the car. This covers both the mechanical features of the drivetrain and electrical aspects such as the motor and battery, with complex control systems coded through both the inverter and the ECU (electronic control unit). This will all need to be cooled due to the high voltage/ current in the unit, meaning health and safety is our main focus through the build process.

Lukas Hastings
Motor and Invertor Design
Mark Labib
Battery Box
Giles Gorman
Battery Box Design
suspension
The main objective of the suspension sub-team is to design a race quality system that will adequately redistribute the large forces in order to maintain precision performance around race track corners.
Photis Photiou
Head of Suspension
Joseph Montesanto
Suspension Design
Aerodynamics and COmposites
The main aim of the aerodynamics & composites team is to deliver a lightweight, sleek package that is designed to reduce drag as much as possible. Composite research and testing are a large aspect of the teams focus. We will aim to use the strongest, lightest materials possible whilst also being cost effective.
