MANUFACTURE AND MAINTENANCE

Manufacture and Maintenance are the team responsible for the assembly, maintenance and running of each new UPR vehicle. For all things hands on, this is the go-to team.

TOM SLATER

Maintenance & Manufacture Member

My name is Tom Slater, and I am part of the Maintenance and Manufacturing section of the team. I joined in 2018, and participated in the manufacture of the car ready for the July 2019 Silverstone competition. My biggest contribution was the fabrication of the chassis at BAE systems, one of our sponsors. I missed the subsequent year as I was completing a year long Internship. However, I have returned for 2020/21 and am looking forward to getting hands on with the car when the covid restrictions allow, before graduating from University this summer.

I’m a second year Mechanical Engineering student and before coming to university I was a bicycle mechanic. I joined formula student last year on the powertrain team and moved to maintenance & manufacturing this year for a more hands-on experience!!!
