University of Strathclyde Motorsport A team of undergraduate students who love designing and building racecars - 20+ years in the making.

Driven to be part of something fast, USM consists of around 50 students from across various engineering departments and other faculties within the university. Competing every year at international events, we have a strong focus on building soft and hard skills through the design of a race car, ensuring knowledge transfer and in doing so building a community within the team.

Weekly Update Week 3!!

The team is currently arriving at Kames for post season testing, and the car is being prepared for some on track running! We'll have plenty of testing content out soon, but to tide you over, here is Evan and Ben discussing the events of week 3 that have led us here🏎️

WEEKLY (sort of an) UPDATE WEEK 2!🐎

Your favourite hosts Evan and Ben are back and dressed a bit differently this week... That's because the team has been on our yearly scavenger hunt social!

Last week our 7 teams all had their first introductory meetings, explaining the basics of what their subteams do and giving out some initial new member projects to get the ball rolling!

We'll be back next week to give you a slightly more normal update on how the design of USM27 is progressing!

Evan and Ben are back for another year! They'll be giving you quick fire catch ups of what we've been up to each week. This week we've got updates from freshers week as well as what's been happening to the team over the summer period (please can we have the car back @ France?)

We'll be back most weeks to keep you updated as we design and build USM27!

In May, Babcock International Group invited us to display USM26 at the Festival of Engineering at their site in Rosyth!

Presenting to over 300 primary school pupils, it was a fantastic opportunity to speak to the next generation of STEM students, introducing them to design principles and our DV autonomous system.

We’d like to give a big thank you to Babcock for making it all possible, and for the rest of their support this season!

In the run up to FS France, we’d like to take this week to showcase some of our sponsors who have made this season possible!

First up is Pressure Profile Systems, who have provided us with some of their AeroStrips. These provide live pressure readings, which makes them ideal for aerodynamic testing. So far this year, we’ve used them to validate our test setup and investigate different configurations for our rear wing. We’re also planning to run their sensors in post-season testing to validate our aero package design!

A big thank you to PPS for all their support this season!
