Info
As Scotland’s first Formula Student team, USM has been designing, building, and racing single-seat race cars for 22 years. Driven to be part of something fast, the student-led team has grown to over 50 members, who pride themselves on a mission of delivering sustainable performance after recently making the switch from IC-engine cars. USM is returning to Formula Student Germany for the first time since 2018 - and for the first time in the electric category - with our latest challenger, USM23.
