Team Description

The UoP Racing Team is a racing team of the University of Patras(Department of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics) . We develop, design and manufacture a racing car that competes at the Formula Student series competition around the globe, alongside with hundreds of teams from all over the world.

Our team consists of passionate students divided in several modules with each module having one leader who coordinates the other members. Building a racing car in such a small amount of time with limited resources, it takes a lot of time and even more hard work to get the job done. The team only works when all students and their supervisors sacrifice their free time to the project.

Working in the team gives students a great opportunity to gain a lot of experiences and qualifications.The main goal of the team is education. Every year many new students start on a year of Formula Student, most of them have no or very little experience in designing and building a race car. Even though, they are allowed and needed to design a part of the car in their first year. Therefore team and each subteam are organized at the start of every season to teach the team vital knowledge and skills. Older members of the team will assist the newcomers during the year, assuring the quality of the work and further educating the new engineers. Most members indicate that their year, or years, was one of the most educating experiences of their study.

Car #186

Info

UoP Racing is one of the most unconventional teams in the electric class of Formula Student. Our design mentality could be summarized as resource efficiency; using unconventional design and manufacturing methods to achieve the best performance/cost ratio. Reliability and sustainability are top priorities as well. Point sensitivity analysis indicated the areas of focus, where clever solutions and sound engineering practices were applied, allowing for the manufacturing of a 210kg electric car.

Car #86

Info

With the powertrain being completely new grounds for the team, UoP4e is an evolution of the designs developed over the last years, a carbon fiber monocoque chassis, combined with lightweight but powerful motor and 10” wheels, focused on being simple, reliable and adjustable. Keeping in mind the targets set at the very beginning of the design process, the team refined neuralgic areas to aid the vehicles’ overall performance. UoP4e is based on the 3rd generation of the CF monocoque chassis and is powered by a single YASA 750 electric motor and a self-developed battery pack with Li-Po cells. Torque is transmitted by a modified Drexler LSD, placed inside the motor, to the 10” aluminum wheels. A number of sensors signals are logged and transmitted over WiFi in real time. Adjustable Steering wheel and seat padding improve driver’s ergonomics. We would like to thank the University of Patras and our sponsors for their support on tackling this design and motorsport challenge.
