University of Strathclyde Motorsport

University of Strathclyde Motorsport A team of undergraduate students who love designing and building racecars - 20+ years in the making.

Driven to be part of something fast, USM consists of around 50 students from across various engineering departments and other faculties within the university. Competing every year at international events, we have a strong focus on building soft and hard skills through the design of a race car, ensuring knowledge transfer and in doing so building a community within the team.

This year, we are running a crowdfunder to support our competition season!

In just a few months time we make our return to European competitions with our first ever entry to FS France, and we need your help!

Your support will directly go towards the cost of vehicle hire to transport members to both France and Silverstone, and also in supporting the shipping of our equipment across the Channel.

Every donation directly reduces the amount paid out of pocket by our members, reducing barriers faced by students.

More information about the team, how your support helps, and how to donate can be found using the link in our bio.

Everyone in the team is incredibly grateful for any support you are able to provide.

For this year’s International Women’s Day, some of the incredible women in our team sat down to discuss their journeys - from the challenges they’ve faced, to the moments that have made them most proud. Their stories are a reminder that growth and confidence are built over time, and that every experience contributes to moving forward.

This year’s theme, Give to Gain, highlights the power of supporting and lifting each other up - because when we create space for others to succeed, we all benefit.

Today and every day, we celebrate the women who inspire progress, spark conversations, and continue pushing for equality. 💙
