UBRacing is the University of Birmingham's Formula Student Team. The team was started in 1997 by a University of Birmingham Mechanical Engineering undergraduate, Blake Siegler, with help from Carl Hingley, the team’s Senior Technician. The idea was to design and build a Formula-style race car to compete in the 1998 Formula SAE competition, which was held by the American Society of Automotive Engineers in Michigan, USA.
