Team Bath Racing are<br />

back in <strong>Austria</strong> this year<br />

for the first time since<br />

2015, with their brand<br />

new challenger, TBR18.<br />

The University of Bath’s<br />

Formula Student team<br />

consists this year of 20<br />

final year engineering<br />

students, assisted by 45<br />

younger year students.<br />

The design philosophy of this year’s car has been to optimise for transient<br />

performance, meaning developing a racecar that performs excellently in acceleration,<br />

braking and cornering. Based on a full carbon fibre monocoque and powered by a<br />

brand new, turbocharged KTM 690cc single cylinder engine, which is fuelled with E85,<br />

the car produces 70 hp and 77.5 Nm. Running on OZ Racing Magnesium wheels and<br />

Avon tyres, with a full aerodynamics package generating over 1100N of downforce at<br />

80kph, TBR18 promises to be a dynamically excellent Formula Student car.<br />
