Brunel Racing's Cars

As stipulated by the Formula Student Class 1 rules, Brunel Racing design and build a new car from scratch every year. As a result of this the team has a wealth of experience in Formula Student design, having produced 10 cars in its time.

The design of every Brunel Racing car typically begins at the start of the university academic year in September, with a design theme being decided upon by the team management. The management then offer guidance to the designers, and both work together throughout the year to produce a well-engineered, highly refined product.
