Some proud students told us...
"This group benefits students by giving them the chance to work on an engineering project and to compete with like-minded individuals in delivering a car from a rule set in a given time frame. This experience really prepares you for the future in terms of a career and you can make good friends over time too. I love Formula Student (SUR) because of the atmosphere we have, which is of teamwork and perseverance. Martin is the main person behind our Formula Student team and he is nothing short of a wonder. Knows everything about cars, can figure out any issue (given enough time) and is so kind that he makes you feel better when you don't understand anything. He is a great teacher, mentor and friend."
"Very welcoming and friendly. Fundamental towards me learning more outside my lectures. Sense of togetherness and family Giving more hands on experience to make me more employable Fun events as a team. The committee ensure everyone is involved and feel included. Help teach new skills"
"The Staffordshire Uni Racing Society has contributed to a significant improvement in both my engineering knowledge and my enjoyment while at university. The team have significantly improved my university experience, and working with a race team while studying at university is an experience that could not have been offered to me otherwise. This is I'm sure is true of the entire team, as every member of the team who has graduated has gone onto significantly important jobs such as engineering across Formula 1, as well as a plethora of other engineering companies worldwide.
"Being a part of this team is more than being in a society, its more like joining a family."
"Being part of SUR has allowed me to openly expresses myself without felling judged and gave me the courage to show my skills and abilities and also gave me the opportunity to improve my skills and abilities. SUR has gave me the chance to evolve, learn and put in practice the things that were taught in lecture. For open days, school days. The team prep the workshop for activities and challenges for the open days and school days. The positive feedback received from the parents/students and kids makes us feel proud, as they said that what we have done makes them want to join the university or had encouraged them to want to go university."
"I've learnt so much and have become so confident in my own abilities."
"SUR has massively helped with my studies as the practical and theoretical work has made my understanding much better as well as this I have make a new group of friends within my corse and outside of my course and year group making my university experience far more enjoyable."
"The thing that makes me proud is the community around the group and the people who make it possible and all of the hard work that goes on in the whole year for competition."
"SUR has always been the center of my university experience. It is something I always look forward when I come into campus. The easily accessible workshop makes the whole experience much more fun. The committee listen to members, provide hands-on opportunities, and foster an inclusive, high-performance environment. Despite challenges, they prioritize our growth and wellbeing, making them truly deserving of Committee of the Year.."
