The University of Glasgow’s Formula Student Team
Our Formula Student team designs and builds a single seat and driverless car
to race in IMechE’s annual Formula Student competition. In 2022, the team had its final ever combustion entry and became the first ever Scottish team to bring home the crown.

Our Setup
At UGRacing, we aren’t just a team that builds a car: we are the foremost opportunity at the University of Glasgow for students to gain industry-style experience, and so are directly shaping the engineers of the future. We are proud of our holistic approach and the ambition of our members allowing us to undertake our most ambitious projects to date.
UGRacing is split into 4 separate divisions; Electric Vehicle, Driverless Vehicle, Concept Vehicle and Operations.
Electric Vehicle
2024 will be UGRacing’s second ever EV entry at FSUK. Utilising the Emrax 208 MV LC motor, Bamocar d3 400/400 motor controller and a custom-made HV accumulator manufactured in-house, we aim to return competitive and willing to challenege once again for the top positions at competition.
Driverless Vehicle
In our 5th year of running a Driverless team, we will continue to refine our bespoke software and focus on real-world testing, as we strive to jump higher in the leaderboards of FS-AI.Concept
We have found great success in previous years by encouraging junior team members take charge of a “design-only” entry to present to judges at competition, giving them the skills needed for future year’s design-for-manufacture. This year, we will be looking to manufacture the team’s first actuation systems and present an EV-ADS concept vehicle at competition.
Operations
The operations team manage everything going on within the team, from creating partnerships with massive companies from around the globe to creating content and showing off everything happening in UGR to the rest of the world.
