Lincoln Racing Formula Student Team

Lincoln Racing

For the first time, a team from the University of Lincoln will enter the prestigious Formula Student motorsport competition.

Formula Student is Europe’s premier educational engineering competition, tasking university teams with designing and building a single-seat race car. Backed by notable industry figures like Ross Brawn OBE, the competition offers a platform for students to gain hands-on experience in automotive engineering, business management, and teamwork.

The team from the University, Lincoln Racing, comprises 34 students from a range of disciplines, including Engineering, Maths, Business, Media, and Sports Journalism. This diverse expertise is vital in a competition that tests not only engineering abilities but also business acumen, financial management, and teamwork.

A gift to support the project will have a direct impact on their ability to innovate, learn and develop themselves and the car to reach their goal at Silverstone in July 2025.
