A Multidisciplinary Team of 140+ Students Building the XRX – Our Most Ambitious Car Yet
We provide students with an unrivalled opportunity to unleash their engineering talent.
We are on a mission to unleash students’ talents and capabilities. Since 2012, we have become an established force in the sport and aim to be amongst the most competitive with our 10th car: the XRX. Last year, we had the pleasure to receive Race Tech’s William Kimberley Award - a prestigious honour. From the workshop to the board room, this year we aim to “Simplify, then add lightness.
