A week ago we were at Formula Student UK 2023, and what a few days it was. We came an amazing 13th overall in our class, our second-best result to date. Work has begun already on next year's entry, so keep an eye out for more updates in the future!

After internal discussions, HWRacing has decided to switch to a concept-class entry for FS23.
We remain focused on manufacturing HWR-12, and this switch will provide us with more time to test and refine the car.
Many thanks to @TunnockOfficial for sponsoring us again this year! Their caramel wafers and teacakes will keep us fuelled all the way to competition.
Interested in joining the team next year? Visit the link in our bio, scan the QR code, or meet us at the bridge between James Nasmyth and Hugh Nisbet on Thursday to register your interest and receive an email when we're recruiting.
Another successful test! We have our accelerator pedal sensors talking to our VCU to control the motor.
We now have a chassis! Michael, our head of mechanical systems and technical director (mechanical) is as happy as can be!
We want to say a huge thank you to @warnerelectric_ for sponsoring the team this year! Without their support the team wouldn’t be able to outsource the manufacturing of our complex machined parts for the challenge of building Scotland’s first Formula Student EV vehicle.

Check out this article on how students at @HeriotWattUni and @HWUDubai worked together to produce @HWRacing's #FS2019 entry. We are delighted that the competition gives opportunities to learn, collaborate and of course, build awesome racecars! imeche.org/news/news-article…
We have been lacking in our twitter posts as of late, we want to change that in 2020!
Our first post of the decade is saying thank you to T&T Tubecraft for bending our roll hoops for us!
Welding of the new chassis is well underway now!

So I'm finishing up some work and I think I can hear ACDC Thunderstruck on bagpipes over by the campsite. Is this a real thing? @UGRacing_fsae @HWRacing any clues?
