XRacing Exeter Formula Student Team: Road to Silverstone

We are XRacing, a Formula Student team from the University of Exeter, a driven group of students aiming to build a race car and we need your help! Each year, we are endeavour to enter a team in the IMechE Formula Student competition at Silverstone.

Some facts about our team:

We create educational opportunities for students to be part of a real team with real responsibilities. By providing opportunities for our members to develop their skills in engineering, business planning and project management, our members are shaped into knowledgeable and capable individuals, ready for any challenge. XRacing takes students beyond their university curriculum and gives them the practical skills to make a difference in the world.

To reach our goal, of producing a reliable car for 2025, we are looking for contributions towards our project. Any amount is welcomed and appreciated.

The money gained will be spent to build our car. This includes buying parts for the vehicle and transporting the vehicle to the event. We are sincerely thankful for your generosity, and we would love to update you on our progress via our Instagram @xracingexeter. We are tirelessly developing our car to be ready for the summer and we hope you will support us along this journey!

Here are some testimonials from our hard-working members:

“Joining Racing was a natural progression for me, it's a place where theory meets hands-on experience. Consolidating the course content with real world design applications; and constructing my career in Engineering with access to high-end manufacturing tools and processes. The racing is just a bonus! I believe that every member has something unique to contribute, and I'm eager to see our diverse talents come together to achieve our goal: Formula Student UK, summer 2025.’ - Martín Fillola, Team Principal of XRacing.

"My experience at Silverstone was just a bit of everything. I helped with the business case, helping the team go over their script and slides. I was also just an extra pair of hands if someone needed something. It was a lot of work, with some highly stressful moments, but it was all worth it in the end!" - Tilly Wake, Treasurer of XRacing.

“Simulations sub team is a brand-new sub team for XRacing. We handled the LTS and competed in the FSUK Sim Racing Championship. I am honoured to be the first team lead for this sub team and couldn’t have asked for a more incredible start. One of the highlights was the sim racing finals at the Williams F1 Centre. We competed with such strong passion and finished a strong 15th out of 52. Very proud for all those involved and can’t wait to start it all again next year” - Jeremiah Elliot, Simulations Lead of XRacing.
