Info
The University of Cambridge’s TTP Full Blue Racing is making their return to in-person competition after the pandemic this year. This marks the first time that the team has attended FSG in a decade. The team’s 2022 car uses an improved chassis with better suspension characteristics. The new dashboard provides the driver with better access to sensor data, and a pneumatic paddle shifter system enhances driveability. The team would like to thank their sponsors for their support this year.
Engineering Design Priorities:

2012
Info
The FBR12 is Full Blue Racing's 6th entry to FSG. The car is a well balanced package aimed at providing the ideal driving experience for the amateur weekend racer, with complete setup freedom, good handling and throttle response together with excellent reliability. A target of a 20kg weight improvement from last year was set, achieved in part through the integration of a new carbon fibre composite rear plate. Setup adjustability has been a main focus of the vehicle dynamics on the FBR12 which features all new fully adjustable upright and hubs. The key target this year has been to complete the car ready for extensive testing from May onward allowing the team to develop the car and drivers further in terms of both reliability and performance before the competition. The team now comprises of over 40 members from the engineer, maths, science and humanities faculties and would not be able to compete without the help of over 30 sponsoring companies, to whom we owe a large gratitude.

2011
Info
The aim of Full Blue Racing this year is to produce a car thatis low cost, yet fast and reliable. The team started the design in mid-August in order to achieve early build of thecar so a sufficient amount of testing could be performed before the competitions.The team keeps its no-compromise attitude towards design despite the tight schedule set. The major innovation this year lies in the hybrid chassis design, with an aluminium structure used at the rear to replace the original space-frame design to reduce weight as well as manufacturing time.We have launched a new website and sponsorship brochure and held several publicity events to promote the team as well as the competition, which has proved to be very successful. The FBR11 would not have been posible without our sponsors and supporters who have provided vital resources,advices and encouragement -- thank you to all thoseinvolved.

2010
Info
Full Blue Racing is delighted to be attending FSG for the 4th time, with its 4th car - FBR10. Hard work from the whole team has produced a vehicle that meets the aim for 2010 of 'reliability without sacrificing performance'. This is acheived through the design of a simple, low maintenance vehicle with exceptional handling and acceleration performance. The team feels that this offers the ideal package for the weekend racer whilst making the most of the facilities available to it. The FBR10 would not have been possible without the help and support of all the sponsors and supporters who have offered advice, facilities and vital encouragement - thank you to all those involved!

Info
Full Blue Racing is delighted to be attending FSG for the 3rd time, with its 3rd car - the Sealub Alliance FBR09. This year the team has undergone significant expansion in order to establish itself as a serious contender in the Formula Student competition. Hard work from the whole team has produced a vehicle that meets the aim for 2009 of 'reliability without sacrificing performance'. This is acheived through the design of a simple, low maintenance vehicle with exceptional handling and acceleration performance. The team feels that this offers the ideal package for the weekend racer whilst making the most of the facilities available to it. The SAFBR09 would not have been possible without the help and support of all the sponsors and supporters who have offered advice, facilities and vital encouragement - thank you to all those involved!

2008
Info
The year 2007/08 has been an exciting one for Full Blue Racing. Despite enduring a difficult first year last year, the fact that we even made it to FSG 2007 has spurred us on to try and achieve greater things in 2008. We return to Hockenheim this year to show people that even without a big budget and University backing it is possible to compete with the best.The experience gained last year has proved invaluable, and by combining it with the skill and hard work of our 15-strong team of engineers we have been able to produce what we believe is a competitive and reliable car – the FBR08.The FBR08 is based upon similar design principles to those of the FBR07; namely low cost, ease of maintenance and excellent driveability. These have been achieved by foregoing the “bells and whistles” approach that seems to be becoming standard in Formula Student, and recognising instead that a simple but well-designed car is definitely best.
