Formula Student Electric Racing Team based at the University of Bath
Team Bath Racing Electric is an electric Formula Student team based out of the University of Bath's Faculty of Engineering and Design.
Formula Student is the world's largest student engineering competition, with over 600 universities taking part in its numerous competitions internationally.
We take pride in our consistent position as the number #1 Electric Formula Student teams in the UK, a testament to our commitment and excellence since 2015.
There is an emphasis within the team to produce bespoke, in-house designs to ensure the car is optimised for racing conditions. This philosophy provides a platform for both learning and innovation, and allows the team and its members to develop year on year.
Team Bath Racing Electric (TBRe) was founded in 2015. We are an exciting and innovative student motorsport team based at the University of Bath. Our team of undergraduates from across the university design, build and race a formula-style car for the Formula Student competition against teams from all around the world.
We compete at Silverstone each year for the UK event and travel around the world to compete in international Formula student events. We were the first UK electric team to compete abroad, competing in Zhuhai, China in 2018.
In 2022 we competed in Italy and Spain which helped maintain our spot as #1 UK Electric Formula Student Team.
Unlike many competitors, TBRe utilises a fully electric powertrain with an Emrax 228 motor rear-wheel drive and a custom in-house designed and built battery pack.
TBRe is widely recognized as a leading Formula Student team in the United Kingdom, particularly distinguished for its mastery of electric powertrains, a distinction consistently upheld since the 2017 competition.
Since our formation in 2015, TBRe has grown and developed at an astonishing rate. In 2018 a very reliable platform was designed, allowing for the 2019 team to design a hybrid carbon fiber and spaceframe chassis as well as a minimised battery pack, dropping the weight of the car to under 200kg.
We are comprised of over 100 professional, motivated, and committed students from across our Engineering faculty as well as Management and Computer Science, making our team truly cross-disciplinary and allowing students from any discipline to share and gain knowledge.
