Who Are We?
We are Swansea University Race Engineering, a student-led motorsport team driven by a passion for innovation and engineering excellence. Competing in the prestigious Formula Student competition, our team brings together students from diverse disciplines to design, build, and race a high-performance car. Through teamwork, creativity, and dedication, we aim to build our skills and knowledge, representing Swansea University on an international stage.
What Do We Do?
Our team designs, builds, and races a Formula Student car from the ground up, focusing on every aspect of engineering from aerodynamics and powertrain to suspension and electronics. We tackle the full lifecycle of development, from initial concept and design through to testing and competition. Alongside building a high-performance car, we develop practical skills in project management, teamwork, and problem-solving, preparing us for real-world engineering challenges.
Our Vision
The Swansea University Race Engineering Team has diligently worked over the past six years to restore its pre-pandemic strength and competitiveness. As one of only three Welsh teams in the Formula Student competition, our previous absence from the track without a functioning car has only fueled our determination to excel. After successfully entering the Concept Class last year, we gained invaluable insights into design, engineering, and project management. We are now excited to implement those lessons as we transition to the Formula Student class with a fully built car this season.
