LFS17

About

Recruitment for the 2016/2017 team was a big step up from the previous year, and the LFS-17 became a continuation of it’s predecessor built by a more numerous and experienced team. The two biggest differences being the aerodynamics package and changing the rear suspension to a De Dion axle. It weighed in at 218 kg and the four cylinder engine developed 75 bhp.

The team was off to a great start at Formula Student UK 2017, with good results in the static and dynamic events. Halfway through the endurance event it looked like the team was heading for a top 3 finish, but an overheated battery meant the car did not make it to the finish line. This led to a 17th place finish out of 62 teams.

Later that same summer in Germany, the team had trouble getting through scrutineering, making them miss the first two dynamic events. They did set some good times in the autocross event and the car made it to the endurance finish line, but was unfortunately disqualified from the latter. The post-endurance scrutineering found an issue with one of the safety switches, leading the team to finish 56th out of 64.
