I am part of the University of Leicester Racing Formula Student team. We are designing and building a formula electric race car to compete in IMechE Formula Student 2017 at Silverstone in July. Having been the third highest placed UK electric vehicle (EV) team at Formula Student 2016, the team have set the ambitious aim of being the highest placed UK EV team at this years' Formula Student 2017, along with being the first current UK EV team to pass electrical scrutineering at Formula Student and race on the track.

To reach our goals we need your help to raise £3000 to cover the cost of entering the competition, materials and the running costs associated with manufacturing and running an electric racing car. Additionally, the Faculty of Science and Engineering  has kindly agreed to match the £3000 raised, so for every £1 you donate, the team will receive £2. Any extra money raised will be kept aside to cover any last minute purchases and later will be invested in the future of the team.
