Formula Student challenges mechanical engineering students to design and build their own single seater racing car and compete in an annual competition at Silverstone in July. This year, teams from across the world descended on Silverstone for the four day event, which is run by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) in partnership with various other organisations.

DC Electronics will be hosting half-day wiring loom workshops designed to give students the opportunity to get the full potential from their cars. Attendees will learn how to design and build a bespoke and winning wiring harness from one of the most knowledgeable and technically advanced teams in the business. In addition, DC Electronics will also be offering exclusive discounts on wiring products and hardware from manufacturers including Cosworth, DTA, MoTeC, OBR, Race Technology and Stack.

David Cunliffe, Director and Co-founder of DC Electronics, said: “Formula Student is a fantastic initiative which gives the budding motorsport professionals of the future the opportunity to compete with each other on the international stage. This year, our workshops received incredibly positive feedback and I will personally be available to offer my advice to the next generation of motorsport electrical engineers.”
