UBRacing is the University's Formula Student team. This hugely successful project enables students to gain hands on experience of a real life-engineering task. Unlike many other university teams, Birmingham encourages students from all years and all disciplines to take part. This progression through the team is vital to becoming a well-rounded engineer.
