Motorsports Committee Roles Introduction

05/12/2021

Hey guys,

Hope everyone is well as we come into the Christmas break. I'm pleased to announce we have an exciting event happening at TeamSport Bristol on the 15th December. This is a joint event with UWE Motorsports so should be a fun little bit of competition.

The format will be a 5min qualy followed by an 80 minute endurance race. There will be 18 teams of 3 on track so will definitely be a manic race. If you have any questions about the event let me know.

Look forward to seeing you guys there 🙂

Tickets will be available for £28 at 19:30 on Wednesday the 8th here: https://www.thesubath.com/motorsports/products/

Hey everyone

Tickets for the first event of the year are now on sale! On Wednesday the 20th of October the club will be running a 2 hour endurance karting event at M4 karting. We will run in teams of 4 that will be assigned to get a fair mix of skill levels. Transport is included in the price: a coach will be leaving the University at around 1:30 PM and will be back at around 6:30 PM. Each member should expect to get around 30-35 minutes on track so it is some great value racing.

Please note that balaclavas will have to be purchased there if you don't have your own. Other than that, it is arrive and drive so you do not need your own helmets or suits (but feel free to bring them if you do).

Tickets may be purchased here: https://www.thesubath.com/motorsports/products/ We ask that each member buy only one ticket.

After purchasing a ticket, make sure you are in the Motorsports teams group as we will organise groups in there.

Hope to see you there 😄 !

Hey everyone,

Hope you are well. The club is looking for members who can run transport to/from events and/or the BUKC. Fuel cost is subsidized by the club and running transport prioritizes you for events with limited space.

If this is something you are able to do and are interested in, please fill out this form https://forms.gle/mD2r6Ru22D9S5Bqs7 . Thanks!

For certain events like the BUKC, members use personal cars to transport themselves and other members. This survey is to see who has a personal car and is willing to run transport to these events. Fuel cost will be completely subsidized by the club and being a transporter gives you priority for thes...

Hi everyone,
Hope you are all doing well. We thought it best to touch base again to update you on the current situation as we know many of you are keen to get involved with some real in-person events when it is safe to do so.

Firstly, unfortunately, it seems that due to the restrictions in place from the SU we will not be able to commit to the British Universities Karting Championship (BUKC) testing and Round 1 this year. We apologies if this is disappointing news but we must follow the SU guidelines.

However, there is still the possibility of us being able to attend some of the remaining rounds, providing the SU decides it is safe to do so. We want to know who is interested in these events so we can make plans for how we move forward as these events may not be subsidised as much as would normally be expected.

Below is the link to a Form that will allow you to register your interest in BUKC based on the estimated prices and events on offer:
Form Link: https://forms.gle/tn9CRKMTui6kuNa2A
Disclaimer: this does NOT guarantee you a spot but will allow us to gauge interest and availability for upcoming BUKC events.

Thanks for all being patient, hopefully, we can get back out on track soon.

Disclaimer: this does NOT guarantee you a spot, but will allow us to gauge interest and availability in upcoming BUKC events. We may contact you by email (or Facebook / Whatsapp), once there is a clearer plan in place for these events. See more about race days / Rookies, Inters & Mains here: https:/...

Hi everyone, we have set up a fantasy F1 league for 2021 ("UoBM Fantasy 2021"). It's early days but if we can get as many people in before the start of the season that would be great. First, you need to create your team and join the league via the code: 9dd6704252 -

Play against your friends to see who knows most about F1®

Hi everyone,
I hope you are all doing well during these tough times, especially after exams.

As we start the second semester, we just want to let you know we are still active and want to update you all on what we have planned over the coming weeks and months now that exams are over.

Last semester we moved fully online and obviously, the current rules mean we will continue to do so, for now. However, we want to expand on the activities we did last semester, including a motorsport quiz, informal discord chat rooms, and a monthly endurance sim race.
The discord chats will likely take place at 3pm every Saturday and every fortnight we will do a fun quiz there too. Time trials and weekend sim racing will continue so stay tuned on our discord server for the latest info.

Remember to continue to be active on our discord server and let people know if you are keen on playing a certain racing game and hopefully people will be able to join you.

Any questions just ask one of our committee members through any of our socials.

We look forward to seeing you all soon.🏎

Hi all, just a quick update regarding in-person events following the change in lockdown rules.
The SU are looking to see if it is possible to open certain STV activities. However, as of now the current guidance from the SU is that no in-person events can occur until the new year. Stay tuned for any further updates as things can change fast, and follow all of our other socials for online event information.
