The 2009-2010 season has started and currently University Racing Eindhoven is looking for drivers for the URE06 and the URE05e. Drivers are one of the key features of achieving a proper performance during the Formula Student events. Therefor the team is looking for experienced drivers.

As a driver of URE, you will race a high performance race car (0-100km/h in less than 4 seconds!) on circuits like Silverstone and the Hockenheimring.

So do you have what it takes to be a URE driver? Then send an email to universityracing@tue.nl!

As can be read in the previous post the concept presentation has been given and concepts have been shown to the team. Not all the technical details can be revealed at this moment, but one of the major issues will be made public by this post. During Formula Student Germany 2009 new plans have been launched for a new class in Formula Student Germany: Formula Student Electric.

Due to these new plans the team has decided to convert the 2008-2009 car into an electric Formula Student race car, the URE05e. Moreover we will develop a brand new URE06 with an conventional combustion engine and improved reliability and handling!

More information will be provided here and in our newsletter!

After the first weeks of hard work the concepts for all the various parts have been presented in our concept presentation. The team got the first impressions of our cars of this season. By finishing this concept phase, we will now start the design phase.

Last weekend URE has been present at the Open Dag of the TU/e. Many of new potential students visited the University to clarify their thoughts about the different studies offered by the TU/e. As the racing team of the University we have been present to show all the different aspects of developing a race car. During these days we offered the students with all the information required and how our project relates to various studies.
