Team Details

The University of Liverpool Motorsport team are proud to be at competition with their 8th car for the team’s 2nd year at FS Germany. The team of 40 comprises primarily of 3rd & 4th year Mechanical Engineering students working towards their MEng Degrees. The team’s strategy for 2013 has been focused on striving for design optimisation, as such ULM008, has been designed with both dynamic performance and product viability as priorities. The team has moved to a 4 cylinder engine to deliver the power and reliability required, with a student designed sump ensuring it is perfectly suited to the car. Dynamic performance has been a particular focus for the driver integration, including a reclined driver position & more dedicated race controls. The team’s move to CFRP bodywork has resulted in a stunningly sleek car, whilst allowing for a reduced overall weight. The team wish to thank their sponsors for their continued support. Without their help, the team’s efforts would not be possible.

The University of Liverpool Motorsport team began life in 2005 and is now entering its seventh year in FSAE Competitions. The team comprises of 35 final year and penultimate year Mechanical and Product Design with Engineering MEng engineering students.The team’s strategy for the 2012 competitions is one of consistency with design of ULM007 focused on reliability, serviceability and low cost manufacture. An all new Unsprung Suspension system based on 13” rims features custom wheel centres, all aluminium stub axles and AP Racing callipers.With focus on drive integration, the ULM007 chassis has an improved driver position, with adjustable pedal box and a student designed vacuum formed ABS seat. A revised bodywork methodology has resulted in a light weight vacuum formed ABS panel design with significant cost and manufacture lead time gains over glass/carbon fibre equivalents.Finally, the team wishes to thank our sponsors, without them the construction of the car wouldn’t be possible.
