DESIGNING, BUILDING, TESTING AND RACING INNOVATION IN FULLY ELECTRIC RACECARS

About Us

NU Racing is an enthusiastic, professional student team of Undergraduate engineers that design, build, test and race a formula SAE, open wheel style race car each year. The

team features a selection of the best mechanical, mechatronic and aerospace engineering students at the University of Newcastle. Not only is the team self motivated,

hardworking and process driven, they are also student led by an internal leadership structure featuring a team lead, chief engineer, mechanical department lead and

mechatronic department lead. The vehicle is fully electric competing in the EV category of the Australasian Formula SAE competition in December each year.

Our design philosophy is

Evolution NOT Revolution
Which targets meaningful design iteration and reliability to ensure sustainable growth
