Surrey University Racing Technology Engineering Solutions
Team SURTES was founded in 2009 at the University of Surrey, UK. We are a group of motorsport enthusiasts who work together to successfully compete at the IMechE Formula Student Competition at Silverstone. Our team consist of student with a wide range of expertise, such as engineering, business, science, physics, politics, literature etc. We are aiming to provide a proper race team experience with engineering, creativity and management aspects. This ensures that any student is able to get involved no matter the degree and university year.
In 2016 team SURTES has become one of the few teams in the UK to switch to electric power. Year later, we successfully passed scrutineering as 1 of only 3 teams in the UK
11th overall place and top UK EV car. We earned the Mercedes-AMG HPP Best High Voltage
Powertrain Implementation Award and
IMechE Most Efficient Car Award
Due to the pandemic in 2020, the competition was held virtually. Our team has managed to become the overall winner of dynamic events
Formula Student (FS) is Europe's most established educational engineering competition, which celebrated its 20th Anniversary in 2018.
Backed by industry and high-profile engineers such Patron, Ross Brawn OBE, the competition aims to develop enterprising and innovative young engineers and encourage more young people to take up a career in engineering.
The project usually forms part of a degree-level project and is viewed by the motorsport industry as the standard for engineering graduates to meet, transitioning them from university to the workplace. It is a kite-mark for real-world engineering experience, combining practical engineering experience with soft skills including business planning and project management.
Each year, Formula Student sees over 100 university teams from around the globe travel to Silverstone to compete in static and dynamic events that will test their preparation and hard work: who will be crowned the winner of Formula Student 2022?

Design process involves challenges in the form of 3D modelling and structural analysis which is crucial for designing a car
Our 4 core design sub-teams. Each week we get closer to our final design. The goal is to ensure compatibility between these four
Recently, we switched to B-Comp, a more sustainable natural fiber solution. Components are made inhouse or externally
Communication is a fundamental aspect of teamworking. We put great emphasis on sharing ideas and information properly
We always aim to manufacture and assemble our car before the competition to avoid any shortcomings
Part of the competition are static events which are a great opportunity for students with interest in business and management
We are very grateful to all of our sponsors, graduates, workshop staff and faculty advisors that help us each year, without them we would not be able to compete. Our team is predominantly compromised of undergraduate students aided by volunteers
