June 2015

‘This year’s launch was a fantastic day which saw TBR15, the car that has been worked upon tirelessly for the last 16 months, unveiled to our many sponsors and supporters. It was a real priv-ilege to showcase the exceptional engineering talent within the team this year, which has allowed us to develop a car that we can bring to competitions and build upon the reputation laid out before us by previous teams. We also have a running car at launch for only the second time in TBR history. I can't wait to see what result we can pull off at Silverstone after more than a month of testing. Bring it on.‘

DESIGNED TO LOOK FAST. DESIGNED TO BE FAST.

1. Power to WeightWith no minimum weight in Formula Student, TBR15 has been designed to be as light as possible as well as being powerful. An overhaul of the power-train has seen a move to a turbocharged single cylinder engine, providing the highest power to weight ratio of any TBR car.

The 2015 Team Bath Racing car sees a huge level of development and redesign compared to the previous year’s car. With a brand new powertrain system, innovative 3D metallic printing and a full aero-dynamics package, the car has been designed with 4 key critera in mind.

2. Dynamically Excellent

3. Aerodynamic Advantage

4. Proven

TBR15 is only the second car in the history of Team Bath Racing to be running at the launch event, pro-viding the team with maximum time for testing., This allows for the optimum setup of the car to be achieved, resulting in the best han-dling car the team can produce.

The 2015 car sees the first use of a full aerodynamics package on a TBR vehi-cle. With new regulations reducing the allowable size of aerodynamic devices, a full package was required to match the impressive downforce figures of the 2014 car. The standout 3D profiles can now be seen on both the front and rear wings.

Manufacturing a reliable car is key to the success of Formula Student, and as such, every component on the 2015 car has been subject to real world or computer simulation stress tests.

On 27th May at the Universi-ty of Bath campus, Team Bath Racing’s new car, TBR15, was presented to over 400 invited guests and sponsors. The event was a spectacular fusion of high quality render videos, flashing lights, dry ice and technical information, described by many visitors as the best TBR car launch to date.

With a general overview and technical presentation given by Project Manager Tom Peir-son-Smith, those attending were given the opportunity to

see under the skin of the new 2015 car, before being allowed to get up close and personal with TBR15. High-lights of the launch event

included a superb exploded render video of the complete car, as well as the unveiling of our new 3D printed metallic components.
