Every year, the Staffs Uni Racing Team (SUR) takes on the exciting challenge of designing and building a race car from scratch. With the support of academic staff and local businesses, they gear up to compete in the IMechI Formula Student Competition at Silverstone.

Last week, we were honoured and excited to attend their annual launch event at LRV, and what a remarkable evening it was! We got to see all the hard work and dedication from the past ten months come to life as the team unveiled this year's car. The atmosphere was fantastic, starting with a lovely drinks reception, followed by a warm welcome and a thrilling car reveal. The SUR Team really went above and beyond, transforming the venue into a stylish space for sponsors and supporters.

We're super excited to see how they’ll do at the 2025 Formula Student event! The team consistently proves why they’re among the best, finishing second in 2023 and fourth overall in 2024. But it’s not just about the thrilling track events; the competition includes static events too, with so many areas for their car to be judged and scored by the governing body, with the chance of taking home awards.

Getting involved in this project gives students the chance to learn and build a ton of valuable skills like teamwork, time management, project management, budgeting, and even negotiating with partners for sponsorships.

All of these experiences will definitely help them in their future careers – and no doubt, some unforgettable memories were made along the way!

Good luck this year, SUR! We’re all cheering for you!
