Aiming to continue the project at the University of Patras, a brand new team of nine students entered the 2005 competition for the first time as a Class 3 entry, presenting a new design for the next car. Simpler, cheaper and more straightforward solutions were adopted throughout, using a steel tubular spaceframe and directly actuated dampers. UoP2 also marked the start of the single-cylinder era for the team. All of these changes led to a more advanced and lighter car than UoP1.
