Info
UVigo Motorsport is the first Formula Student team in the Spanish region of Galicia, which faces the fifth season since our formation. After having completed all the dynamic tests of the FS with the UM18 for the first time, we want to continue improving our prototype in order to gain a foothold in the competition and be able to compete with the best teams in the Formula Student.

Info
UVigo Motorsport is the first Formula Student team in the Spanish region of Galicia, facing the third season since our formation. Despite of being so new, we already attended the FSG in 2015 with our first vehicle, the UM15. Then, with the UM16 we jumped to a top vehicle in terms of design, with carbon fiber monocoque and a complete aerodynamic pack. This season, with the UM17 our goal is to combine complex design, high performance and maximum reliability, in order to get our highest score ever.

2015
Info
We are a first year FS team composed of 14 engineering students of different disciplines. We have been working very hard the last year and a half to get sponsors, design and build our prototype. Since the beginning, we targeted reducing the car weight as much as possible, and develop electronic systems which will allow us a better understanding of the car dynamics by showing the telemetry to the driver. Our project has a reduced budget, so we have looked for the best prize/performance ratio.
Engineering Design Priorities:
Low weight
7" touchscreen dash
Electric shift actuator
Moderate cost
Cared bodywork design
Double air flow sidepods
