DESIGN. BUILD. RACE.

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ECO RACING

CUER is a team of Cambridge Students who design, build, and race solar powered vehicles. We take part in a 3000km race in Australia from Darwin to Adelaide with 40 of the best teams from around the world.

From dream to reality.

Since the World Solar Challenge in October 2019 where we competed with Helia (our solar EV), our team has been keen to achieve even more. The tragic disruption that the world has faced in the last few years has had a significant effect on everyone, but we believe that now is a time when we can begin to be hopeful for the future. With this in mind, we are excited to continue to implement plans for the return to the key things we value as a team. These are namely the promotion of renewable technology, the practical education of engineers and the inspiration of younger students through outreach. Looking back at our journey thus far and all the people that have made it possible, the Cambridge University Eco Racing team is proud to present a short overview of the intense project that was the build of our first ever four seater solar car Helia. Although brief, we hope that it can give many people an insight into what it was like for us along the way, whilst for those of us who were involved it brings back countless memories.

We would like to dedicate this video in memory of Nick Carpenter, the owner and Engineering Director of Delta Motorsport, who has sadly passed away. Helia would not have existed without his support, and we are forever grateful for his substantial input. Our thoughts and sincere condolences go out to his friends and family.

Make a donation.

CUER is the largest student-led engineering project at the Cambridge University Engineering Department and our main aim is to serve as a learning platform for students to develop real world engineering skills. CUER relies almost entirely on the generosity of corporate sponsorship, private donations and in-kind support that we must raise ourselves.

Supporting CUER is not only a fantastic way to support the development of the engineers and entrepreneurs of the future but also helps us inspire the next generation of STEM students in the UK.
