Info
UH Racing are entering the inaugral event of Formula Student Electric with their second generation of electric car after success last year with both electric and petrol cars.The cohesive team structure encompassing both petrol and electric teams, has enabled improvements in productivity and brought a great deal of experience to the team. UH13A, the team's electric car, has been designed based on the experience gained from last year’s cars with the core principal of building low cost high performance race cars. Powered by two Lynch Motor Company motors and LiFeBatt cells, wilst incorporating large advances in packaging and electronics, the university’s first entry into Formula Student Electric is looking to leave quite the impact this summer. www.racing.herts.ac.uk
