After encouraging feedback from judges, the 18 members of the team improved the UoP3 chassis and redesigned the suspension to reduce compliance. The powertrain was retained, with a revised differential mount and exhaust. The result was a slightly heavier but far more reliable car. UoP3evo competed at Formula Student Germany at Hockenheimring and Formula SAE Italy at Autodromo Riccardo Paletti, finishing every dynamic event, the team’s best results up to that point.
