2018 SPONSORSHIP PROSPECTUS
THE UNIVERSITY OF BATH S FORMULA STUDENT RACING TEAM Team Bath Racing is one of the UK s premiere Formula Student racing teams where students from the University of Bath design, build, test, and race a single seat race car to compete against teams from all over the world. Team Bath Racing boasts a rich history of building event winning cars and with 13 event wins to our name and achieving the top placed British team at Formula Student UK 5 times, we are the UK s most decorated team. This July at Silverstone our 2018 team, TBR18, recently won the Class 2 event at Formula Student UK, an event where our initial design concept and business proposal is assessed. Our route to victory involved winning both the design and cost events, showing that our 2018 entry will be our strongest yet. We now look to seek your support to build our award-winning design and take the top step of the podium yet again at FSUK 2018 and race across Europe competing against the top teams in the world, proudly showing what your support has done for us.

WHAT TEAM BATH RACING IS ABOUT ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE - Every year, Team Bath Racing manufactures an entirely new racing car, building on years of knowledge and experience to help us create one of the most advanced and fastest racing cars in Formula Student. Our aim to win Class 1 at Formula Student UK edges ever closer, after completing our first step of winning Class 2. To allow us to take those last steps, we need the support of industry leaders and companies excited to support a unique and challenging project. TEAMWORK AND COLLABORATION - TBR18 consists of 22 engineering students, emphasising the need for effective communication across the team to produce a race car that not only works, but is fast and reliable. These team working skills provide a solid foundation for all our members to bring to industry and improve on, as well as exercising these skills with our sponsors. Team Bath Racing also involves students across every academic year at university, where they can gain vital experience that will help them become strong candidates for graduate and placement positions with our sponsors and other industry leaders. REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE - Formula Student allows team members to learn and improve on skills learnt from industry, such as using design and simulation software, to complex manufacturing techniques. These experiences lead to team members obtaining jobs in industries such as Formula One and other motorsports, aerospace, defence, petrochemical and other major corporations in both the engineering and finance sectors. INSPIRING THE FUTURE - Team Bath Racing actively promotes engineering to future generations, attending STEM events in both the local and national community. It is our belief that everybody has the potential to become a great engineer, and providing a moment of inspiration to young people can snowball into a passion and drive that resonates within the team today.
