This time next week the annual IMechE Formula Student competition will be over. The competition sees universities from across the world bring student designed, manufactured and driven racing cars to the Silverstone race circuit. After a series of design, cost and business presentations the cars will hit the track to compete in straight line acceleration runs, figure of 8 loops as as well as a single lap sprint and a final endurance race. After all of this one team and its car will be crowned the Formula Student UK champion.
Out of all the international versions of this competition (including an Australian, Brazilian, Italian, Japanese, German and 2 American events) the British version is the only competition not to see a 'home' team win the competition. This year Oxford Brookes University will once again be aiming to lead the British challenge in a weeks time.
Ahead of the competition Paul Chapman Pictures was once again invited to a recent testing session with the Oxford Brookes Racing Team. This was the last opportunity for the team to finalise the on track setup of their car before the competiton begins in Silverstone.
In a similar way in which Paul Chapman Pictures travelled with the team to the FSAE competition at the Michigan International Speedway, Paul Chapman Pictures will be present at the Formula Student event at Silverstone. Paul Chapman Pictures will aim to capture not only the Oxford Brookes University Racing team, but also many of the other British teams which will be present at the event. All of the photographs will of course be uploaded onto the website and professional 6"x4" photographs will be available to order direct from the website for just 99p plus postage.
