Your LU Motor Sports Update: LFS25 Testing & Progress
As we begin to near our Easter break here at Loughborough, the manufacture of LFS25 is picking up speed with designs nearing completion. The feeling of accomplishment at seeing the LFS25 monocoque sheet metal mould, next to LFS24 ready to roll out of the lab for testing creates a new wave of momentum.
With two of the largest design changes since moving electric, it has been both a design and operational challenge. The team’s progression since our last newsletter has been significant from not only a design standpoint but also the breadth of team knowledge. We’ve taken a step towards increasing training, particularly within electronics, our greatest skills gap area with formal training and workshops offered by sponsors.
The hours of testing we’ve completed have developed a team comfortable with operating a running vehicle ready for FSUK this year. I hope this newsletter provides insight into not only some of the work completed so far and what is yet to come but also an experience of the enjoyment that we’ve had from taking LFS24 out and pushing its limits.
