About Cardiff Racing<br />
Cardiff Racing is the Formula Student team based at Cardiff University, Wales, UK. We like to pride<br />
ourselves on our high quality engineering design and professionally built cars that don’t cost a<br />
fortune to produce! Using well chosen materials and refined techniques we build a car that is<br />
capable of competing with the very best as is proven by our top ten result at <strong>FS</strong>UK (2014), top 4 at<br />
<strong>FS</strong>CZ (2015) and top 42 at <strong>FS</strong>A (<strong>2016</strong>).<br />
We have enjoyed an excellent pre-season including many hours of hard work in the design studio<br />
and the fastest combustion <strong>FS</strong>A quiz time! Furthermore, strong performance in testing leaves us<br />
hopefull of a good result at <strong>FS</strong>UK, <strong>FS</strong>A and <strong>FS</strong>H.<br />
