Info
UWA Motorsport hails from Perth, Western Australia, a small city with a predominantly mining and agriculture based economy. The University of Western Australia generously supports the FSAE project as part of its well regarded undergraduate engineering program and the team has competed in FSAE events since 2001. UWAM is proud to present its 8th car for this FS Germany competition, the team’s first foray to Europe.The travelling team of 10 consists mostly of final year undergraduate students studying Mechanical Engineering. It is also the first visit to Europe for many of the team members and some will be staying on after the comp as tourists, with some plans to visit some of Germany’s finest motorsport venues and museums, as well as sampling local food and beverages as we are led believe is required by local customs.The team would like to thank our platinum sponsors, UWA, Orbital, Kinetic Suspension, and Goodyear, as well as all our other supporters for making this project possible.
