The Home of Motorsports

At Newcastle University

We are wiping the slate clean for the 2024/2025 academic year and coming back stronger than ever! This website holds all of the information about our project for the Formula Student UK Competition at Silvertone in July 2025!

What is Formula Student?

Formula Student (FS) is Europe's most established educational engineering competition and celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2023, tasking teams to design, build and race a single-seater race car.

Backed by industry and high-profile engineers such as Ross Brawn OBE, the competition aims to develop enterprising and innovative young engineers and encourage more young people to take up a career in engineering, with over 100 university teams taking part every year.

The project usually forms part of a degree-level project and is viewed by the motorsport industry as the standard for engineering graduates to meet, transitioning them from university to the workplace. It is a kite-mark for real-world engineering experience, combining practical engineering experience with soft skills including business planning and project management.
