Our cars

Seven cars since 2002. Scroll through them in the order we built them, from UoP1 to the electric UoP5e.

Seven cars
2002–2004
599 cc

Yamaha YZF600R four-cylinder

UoP1 was way ahead of its time, featuring an in-house built hybrid composite monocoque chassis with a removable subframe, 10-inch wheels to minimise unsprung mass and inertia, and a four-cylinder Yamaha engine.

2005–2007
600 cc

Yamaha XT600E single-cylinder

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.

2008
600 cc

Yamaha XT600E single-cylinder

UoP2evo is an almost complete upgrade of UoP2.

2009–2010
175 kg

Yamaha WR450 single-cylinder

A new carbon fibre monocoque became a key ingredient for UoP Racing.

2011
449 cc

Yamaha WR450 single-cylinder

After encouraging feedback from judges, the 18 members of the team improved the UoP3 chassis and redesigned the suspension to reduce compliance.

2012: the switch to electric
2012–2014
85 kW

YASA-750 electric

After ten years of Formula Student and a lot of research into where motorsport was heading, the team made the big decision to leave internal combustion behind: the start of UoP Racing’s electric era, and the first all-electric Formula Student car in Greece.

2015–2016
80 kW

EMRAX 228 electric

UoP5e features a chassis made entirely from honeycomb aluminium panels, a unique choice among Formula Student teams, along with better driver ergonomics and impressive efficiency, while still performing strongly on track.
