USM 14

Following from the major concept change in 2013 the team wanted to go a step further by adding an aerodynamic package to the car. The finalised wing design saw the addition of a three element front wing and a dual element rear wing and was an extremely fast car after a very lengthy testing season.

​

At competition, the car performed very well achieving a top ten finish in the skid pad event at FSUK also taking the cost and sustainability title for the second time in a row. However, an engine failure ended the car's competition in the endurance event.

​

However, the team worked tirelessly to prepare for FSG 2014 bringing the car back home as the top team in the UK 2014.
