CR22

Due to the immense engineering complexity of constructing our first electric vehicle, the team made the strategic decision to focus exclusively on Formula Student UK (FSUK), reallocating funds usually spent on overseas competitions directly into the car’s build and development.

Determined to make an impact at Silverstone, we presented CR22 for accumulator scrutineering the moment it opened on day one. The team successfully passed Technical, Safety, and Chassis scrutineering with ease. In accumulator scrutineering, we completed 98% of the stringent process before being held back by minor technical faults, ultimately preventing us from taking to the track this year.

Despite not running dynamic events, we are immensely proud of what was achieved. Developing CR22 presented a challenge unlike any other in Cardiff Racing's history, but it leaves us with a solid engineering foundation and puts us in a prime position to clear scrutineering and hit the track running next season.

​

The creation of CR22 would not have been possible without the continued dedication of our partners, advisors, and team members. A massive thank you to all of our incredible sponsors-without your generous support, resources, and technical backing, CR22 could not have been built.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the Cardiff University staff and students who offered their expertise, facilities, and hands on assistance throughout the whole process.

To our graduating members and team leads who devoted countless hours, personal sacrifices, and relentless leadership throughout the year - thank you for steering us through this historic transition.

Finally, Alastair Clarke our faculty advisor who had been there whenever and wherever we needed him. His positive outlook towards the team in such a demanding year held our spirits high and we could not have reached where we are now without him.
