Tau Racing

TAU (Team Aberdeen University) Racing was established in 2007 by a group of 10 undergraduate engineers of various disciplines at the University of Aberdeen. The team’s goal each year is to design and build a single seat racing car to compete at Silverstone in the Formula Student competition. The team now has over 50 team members across a variety of sub-teams, from Chassis and Suspension to Engine and Electronics. The society teaches team members to apply engineering methods to a real life engineering project, allowing the students' designs to be manufactured and used on the car. Furthermore, the project demands many interpersonal skills - including team management, effective communication and scheduling. The project is solely funded by sponsorship raised by the team, which is crucial to remain present and competitive within the competition. TAU Racing continues to build upon the successes of previous years with the aim of maximising our points awarded at the competition each year.
