Warwick Racing

Warwick Racing are a group of academic and extracurricular projects run by Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) and supported by the School of Engineering. Students studying engineering at the University of Warwick gain valuable practical and project management skills as part of this project.

Warwick Racing are a student-run racing team who design and builds single-seat race cars for participation at FSUK. Last year we achieved 15th Overall, striving for greater heights as we move into FSUK 2026. We have also travelled to Germany and even as far as Australia! Abroad, we competed against teams from all over the world and reached an international audience.

Warwick Racing Electric Team

This year, the team are designing and manufacturing our 5th electric Formula Student vehicle, WRe5. As the global automotive industry continues its transition towards electrification and sustainable mobility, it is increasingly important that the next generation of engineers develop practical, hands-on experience with electric powertrains and advanced vehicle systems.

Through the design and development of our electric race car, students gain invaluable exposure to areas such as battery technology, power electronics, drivetrain integration, vehicle dynamics, control systems, and data analysis. The project provides an opportunity to apply theoretical engineering principles in a highly demanding real-world environment, helping students bridge the gap between academia and industry.

As electric vehicles continue to shape the future of motorsport and the wider automotive sector, Warwick Racing aims to prepare students with the experience and knowledge needed to succeed in an increasingly electrified industry.
