Oxford Brookes Racing (OBR) is the most successful Formula Student Team in the UK, achieving a 3rd place finish at FSUK last season. For the first time since making the change to an electric powertrain in 2020, OBR is bringing an almost brand new design to the competition. The carbon fibre monocoque, suspension, accumulator, and forced-induction air cooling for all electrical components have been designed concurrently from the ground up; engineered to perform at the highest level.

Engineering Design Priorities:

Safety Reliability Performance Manufacturability Cost Energy Efficiency
