We’re going to Silverstone!

With the announcement coming out last month that the competition will once again be held at Silverstone and the confirmation that the team will be attending the live events the spirits of the entire team has been turned up a notch. For those who have been before, the prospect of going back and experiencing the full event at a much beloved track has left many with a feeling of going home.

As a result of the live event being cancelled last year, this year there will be a group within the team who have been working hard for two years, but have yet to experience the joys of going to the event. For these individuals there has been great excitement and anticipation as the day grows closer the veterans tell stories and the car comes closer to completion.

We’ll be putting out newsletters regularly over of the next couple of weeks with details about what the team has been up to and keeping you updated with what we’re working on in the run up to the event.

SHU Racing Launch Event

This Friday (the 9th) at 3pm, SHU Racing and SHU Racing Development will be launching their 2021 contenders for Formula Student UK. Due to the current restrictions, the launch will be held virtually this year and broadcast via Youtube. The team would like to invite you to watch this live as it is released and chat to us in the comments. A link to the video will be provided via our social media channels on Friday, as well as being posted on a bonus newsletter on Friday. We look forward to presenting the car!

The managers will be talking through the work they have carried out to contribute to the development of the electric vehicle as well as the updates that have been applied to the 2019 car which is being raced at Silverstone in a matter of weeks.

Workwear Express

As part of the team’s preparation for the event, we wanted to present a united and professional front, from a supplier who could provide us with high quality, functional kit. And so it was a natural choice for us to turn to Workwear Express to further build on the relationship of previous years.

Workwear Express are one of the UK’s leading personalised workwear providers offering over three decades of experience. With over 70,000 customers within the UK alone, their Durham based team have a reputation for supplying top quality garments and service to the nation.

With the ability to choose from a range of over 7500 different clothing items we at SHU Racing were truly spoilt for choice and were able to get exactly what we wanted and needed for the event this year.

We’d like to thank the team at Workwear Express for their assistance and contribution to the SHU Racing team over the past years in helping to refine our teamwear needs.
