Huge thanks to for welcoming us to visit their team. It was a great insight into your work processes and we had an amazing time chatting with your team members, especially about your management processes and carbon fibre wishbones. We look forward to you guys coming to visit us at some point in the future. (We hope you liked our souvenirs (🏎️))

After the wettest FSUK in recent memory we are proud to announce we completed all dynamic events and finished P22 out of 59 teams in FS class.

This is an incredible achievement for the team having not fielded a car for the 2023/24 season, we have now laid a solid foundation for future teams to build from.

The weekend was far from smooth sailing as we suffered some minor throttle and controls issues Saturday morning cutting short our acceleration runs. The largest of these issues occurred Sunday morning, having rebuilt our whole brake system the night before, our rear master cylinder plunger arm sheared whilst bleeding. With amazing resilience and determination from the team, we managed to get the car ready for the 3rd endurance session. After battling through 2 red flags due to weather and steering issues on the last lap we crossed the line to finish endurance for only the second time in the team’s history.

We are very proud of the whole team for the work they put in over the year and the drive to come together when it really counted. We look forward to the coming season and the journey LR05 will take us on.

That’s a wrap for FSUK2025!

It’s been an incredible year with lots of highs and lows, especially during competition.

Thank you to all our sponsors, supporters and, most importantly, team members for getting us to where we are. It has been the most amazing journey with the most amazing people.

For some of our team it is goodbye, while others get to do it all over again.

Stay tuned for a results post to follow.

We are proud to announce as a returning sponsor.

The Bugatti Trust Museum and Study Centre is an independent UK registered charity with educational aims and objectives dedicated to the study of the works of Ettore Bugatti and preservation of the heritage of the marque.

Bugatti trust is a key financial sponsor allowing the team to achieve more ambitious goals with the funding of high quality components. They also offer the incredible opportunity to attend the Prescott Hillclimb event and unrestricted access to the great minds within a professional motorsport event.

Klarius are returning sponsor for the 2025 season.

As the UK’s largest manufacturer of aftermarket emissions control components, Klarius offers exhausts, CATs, DPFs and accessories with in-house R&D and production. They deliver OEM performance, reliability and compliance while enhancing vehicle efficiency and environmental standards.

We have worked closely with Klarius over the last two years to develop our new 4-2-1 exhaust as a more compact package than our previous exhaust. This will help with packaging and freedom with muffler choice, it has also allowed us to place our lambda sensors in positions aligning with good engineering practice.

are one of our returning sponsors for 2025.

Ogle is a global and experienced company that provides a range of 3D printing, prototyping and model making services.

The team have made use of Ogle’s SLS printed PA2200 material for two major powertrain components: Our airbox/intake manifold and our oil sump. Due to its high glassing temperature, chemical resistance and strength it is a great lightweight alternative to their aluminium counterpart. The SLS printing process also allows for a lot of freedom with design to integrate complex internal geometries.
