UVic Formula Racing
Share
Generally, we design during the week and hit the shop on Saturdays. Every year we compete against other universities from around the world with a new and improved machine. As of 2020, we are also building a fully electric car in addition to our internal combustion vehicle. We are the top ranked Canadian team West of the GTA, 9th overall in Canada! We also do this with one of the smallest budgets!

It’s and our final one of the season!
Today we’re spotlighting Eddy, one of UVFR’s veteran drivers and a core part of our racing program.
A business student with a lifelong love for cars, Eddy grew up racing autocross and has been behind the wheel for UVFR for the past few years. He leads driver training, dials in car setups, and makes sure everything feels just right on track.
Eddy’s got that rare driver’s intuition, the kind that can tell when the suspension’s off by feel alone. Whether he’s coaching new drivers or shaving tenths off a lap, he brings precision, consistency, and calm confidence every time he straps in.
His dream? Obviously to be a professional race car driver, duh.
That’s a wrap on this year’s Meet the Leads series, it’s been a blast introducing the people behind UV26. Stay tuned for an exciting season ahead… things are just getting started. 🏁🏎️

🦃 and we’ve got a lot to be thankful for this weekend 👇
Huge thanks to for supporting the team and making precision like this possible. With their software, we’ve been machining parts for our dyno, the final piece before we can start testing our electric powertrain in-house.
From the first chip to the final flywheel, none of this would be possible without industry tools like Mastercam that help turn designs into reality.

It’s and today we’re spotlighting Will, our Shop Lead for UV26!
Currently in his second year of university, Will joined UVFR last year and quickly became one of the team’s go-to people for anything that needs building, fixing, or welding. Passionate about engines and always ready to jump in, he’s the guy you’ll find fabricating jigs, working on the pit or charging cart, or just keeping the shop running smoothly.
With sharp hands-on skills and a knack for problem-solving under pressure, Will’s the kind of person who keeps things moving.

It’s and today we’re spotlighting Darby, our Drivetrain Lead for UV26!
A mechanical engineering student, Darby joined UVFR last year on the IC powertrain team but quickly started lending a hand wherever it was needed. From drivetrain to aero to suspension. That broad experience set him up to take the reins of drivetrain this season, where he’s now leading one of the most critical subsystems on the car.
Ambitious and driven, Darby’s dream is to take his engineering career all the way to Formula 1 and he’s wasting no time getting started.
