While the team saw a huge success from 2014, Formula Student was now governed by new aerodynamics rules. Fueled by the title of top team in the UK, USM15 was a very competive car attracting the attention of major sponsors such as Castrol.

​

USM15 had a braking issue in the Endurance Event at FSUK but finished a very strong 12th Place at FSG.
