Last week we were lucky enough to be visited by our sponsor, Evolution Measurement. They have generously provided us with tools to aid the gathering of reliable data in the wind tunnel and on track.

They have sponsored us with a EvoScann P8-D Pressure Scanner, to join the other one they had provided us a few years ago, along with necessary accessories such as specialist soft tubing, stainless steel tubulations, and pressure patches! They are also able to provide us support with using the scanners and software effectively. ๐ŸŽ๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ

During their visit we give them a tour of our engineering facilities on campus, including the largest university-owned wind tunnel in the UK; the R J Mitchell Wind Tunnel. A huge thank you to Evolution Measurement Ltd for their continued support and partnership! Your contributions are invaluable to our success ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ”ง

We visited Prodrive this week for a factory tour!
Witnessing Prodrive's long-standing success and innovative drive was nothing short of inspiring. We saw engines, chassis, fully assembled ready-to-win race cars, even the world's lightest folding bicycle! It was really interesting to see behind-the-scenes of such a successful motorsport company. Everything showed their commitment to excellence and reaffirmed our passion for engineering!๐ŸŽ
Thank you Prodrive!๐Ÿ’™
Thank you Southampton University Engineering Society (SUES) for organising this tour and inviting some from SUFST along!๐Ÿ

Here is a short introduction to some of our new and returning members, and get to know some of their past and future goals in life!
Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science, a day that is annually recognised by the United Nations General Assembly to promote the full and equal inclusion of women in STEM.
We are proud to have a strong female representation in the team, from the top with our team leader, down to first-year students joining the team this year. We recognise their talent and contributions everyday of the year but wanted to take this particular opportunity to get to know a bit more about some of them!
