The UM Racing Team, Malta’s sole Formula Student team, is once again making waves with their latest creation, the EV24. This electric race car, designed and built entirely by students, is preparing to compete at an international motorsport event at Silverstone this summer.

Each year, the team undertakes the entire design and construction process themselves. From initial sketches to race-day performance, these students manage every aspect of the project, including design, engineering, fundraising, and assembling a fully functional, Formula-style vehicle. The experience goes far beyond racing: it offers students a chance to apply their theoretical knowledge, develop practical skills, and gain invaluable hands-on experience.

What sets UM Racing apart is its interdisciplinary nature. Open to students from any faculty, the team draws members from Engineering, Economics and Management, and Science. This collaborative approach demonstrates that innovation and speed are not confined to a single discipline.

During testing, the EV24 has already demonstrated its potential with impressive precision and speed, a testament to the dedication, skill, and passion invested by the team.

For a behind-the-scenes look at the team’s journey, watch the team building the EV24 and see the final product in action.

Well done UM Racing Team!
