Our sponsors race with us.
It is thanks to the ongoing support from our sponsors that the Oxford University Racing team exists as a cutting-edge learning space for future leading engineers. Their resources allow us to set ourselves apart from the crowd, and we very much consider them an essential part of our team.
Our sponsors provide essential financial resources, expertise, and equipment; our specialised teams then transform these into a skillfully engineered car as part of a long-term Formula Student project. Our sponsors derive substantial value from liaising with young engineers at one of the most prestigious universities in the world, as well as being a part of the Formula Student competitive process with us.
When we win, our sponsors win.
