Team Details

UoP Racing Formula Student team presents his fourth race-car “UoPЗԐVO, a further developed car of its predecessor. The prominent features are the “hybrid” CF monocoque chassis reinforced with aluminum plates, a new designed easy-to-tune suspension system with better packaging, a self-developed gear shifting mechanism(drill shifter) utilizing a DC motor coupled to a planetary gear reduction system, a more sophisticated car monitoring system and a powerful, yet lightweight engine Yamaha WR450F. During the design and development of UoPЗԐVO the UoPRacing team had always in mind to find solutions being simultaneously SIMPLE- EFFICIENT- RELIABLE and COMPETITIVE. As a result UoPЗԐVO is a car focusing on high performance, easy-tuning and reliability.We would like to thank the Laboratory for Manufacturing Systems & Automation (LMS) of the Patras University, along with our sponsors for their support that’s giving us the chance to experience this motorsport challenge.

This is the first participation of University of Patras Racing team to FSG competition. University of Patras is the first Greek university that has been involved into FSAE series competitions for six successive years now. Experience and know-how have been gained from all previous years that allow us to face the FSG competition. Our car’s size, improved packaging and in combination with lower total weight, gives enhanced agility and adaptation to the requirements of the track. Simple and reliable solutions are promising successful completion of all the dynamic events. Our team seeks new experience from the strong competition of the FSG and explores new limits. We would like to thank University of Patras, Laboratory for Manufacturing Systems and Automation, along with our sponsors for their valuable technical and financial support.
