\n
\n

In 2025, we set personal bests in multiple of the dynamic events, including skidpad and endurance. We received the most amount of points to date, and placed 19th!<\/p>\n

2023 was a strong competition year for the team. We placed 18th out of 120 teams, and first among Canadian teams. With a new-to-us CBR600RR engine and a number of redesigned parts, we completed all four dynamic events and placed second in our design bay, coming 12th overall in design.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

UVFR’s first time at EV competition! The vehicle had an 11kWh Accumulator, and we placed 48th in design. Unfortunately, UV23e was unable to compete in any dynamic events.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Swapped 2019 suspension system to utilize front pushrods, redesigned wiring harness for additional sensors and durability. Placed 11th in the design presentation and 54th overall at the May Michigan competition.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

UV19<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
\n

Complete ground up redesign. This included dropping the aging CBR600F4i for the CBR600RR which was the basis engine for Moto2. The wheels went from 13″ to 10″ to reduce un-sprung mass. Changed ECU to use the Link Thunder and Plex Tuning data logging system.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
