We are Salford Racing - the University of Salford's Formula Student Team. Our team comprises of engineering, business, project management and media students that design, manufacture and compete a high-performance race car.
The aim of the project is to compete in Formula Student, the world's most established student automotive competition, where universities from all over the UK and the world meet at Silverstone once a year to pit their cars against one another.

Group Meetings
General meetings will take every Wednesday at around 1:00pm (Location TBC due to new building and change of rooms). On top of this you will be required to meet with your sub-team leaders or other members at various times.
All together we say that joining the team requires around 8-10hrs a week of commitment. This involves a mixture of in-person meetings and independent work at home. Meetings are compulsory to attend and members will be required to meet deadlines as this is an academic society.
