Swansea University’s Oriel Science are delighted to support Swansea University Race Engineering (SURE) at the launch of their new Formula Student race car at the National Waterfront Museum on Friday 15th June.

From 12:30-3pm, visitors and invited guests will see the SURE team unveil the newly designed 2018 car, the S18! The S18 has been given a brand new design ahead of the team’s first race at the Silverstone circuit in July. The SURE team will address the public and their sponsors at the event to discuss the finer details of the car and the journey they’ve made to take the car from concept to European racetracks.

The SURE team comprises of students from varying engineering disciplines, as well as non-engineers from Swansea University, who each year take on the monumental task of designing a single seated race car for the Formula Student series. Over 100 students from various academic backgrounds have had a hand in the design of the S18. Formula Student is Europe’s most established educational engineering competition and the process of preparing and partaking in the competition helps students gain practical knowledge to complement their degree.

We are excited that the Bloodhound SSC Project will also be exhibited, especially since this is not often on public view. This comes after the announcement of the revised date for the 500mph run in South Africa which is now scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2019.

Kay Tor, the SURE Team Principal said, “Being part of Formula Student is time consuming but also extremely rewarding; our team members work hard throughout the year, balancing their commitment to SURE with their study responsibilities. It is a challenging feat of engineering, but the thrill and the experience make it all worthwhile”
