Manchester Met Racing

MCR Met Racing is the official Formula Student team of Manchester Metropolitan University, founded in 2007. Each year, we take on the challenge of designing, manufacturing, and racing a competitive single-seater car, competing in the internal combustion category. This year, we have expanded our involvement to include an entry in the Electric Vehicle category, pushing innovation further within our team.

We compete annually at Silverstone in the prestigious IMechE Formula Student UK competition, testing our engineering, teamwork and problem-solving skills against teams from across the world.

Beyond engineering, we encourage students from all courses and disciplines to get involved, offering opportunities in design, business, marketing and media. Our team provides hands-on, industry-relevant experience, helping students develop essential skills while fostering a strong and supportive team environment.

The facts
MCR MET Racing was founded in 2007 and has since grown into a competitive and highly experienced Formula Student team.
All work on the car is done voluntarily and outside of scheduled lectures and labs, driven by students passionate about engineering and motorsport.
Our chassis is manufactured completely in-house, with students handling everything from notching and bending to welding, ensuring full control over the build process.
Our internal combustion car runs on E85, a renewable ethanol-based fuel that enhances performance while reducing emissions.
This year, we are entering the Electric Vehicle category alongside our Internal Combustion entry.
We work closely with industry partners who support our components and development.
We welcome students from all courses and disciplines, as there are a variety of roles to get involved in.
