Why back a first season.

125 Northumbria students are building the university's first Formula Student car from scratch and taking it to Silverstone. Partners who join now are with us from the first cut of metal.

Why now

What an established team can't offer you.

  1. 01

    Your name on car one

    The partners who back the first NUFS car are part of how the team started, not a logo added later.

  2. 02

    Room on the car

    Established teams carry dozens of logos. A first car carries a few, so yours isn't lost in the crowd.

  3. 03

    Your input still counts

    We're in concept and design until December. Advice from your engineers now can still change how the car is built.

Partner tiers

Five ways to back the team.

Each tier includes everything in the one before it. Prices are a starting point, so if something doesn't fit, ask and we'll work it out.

Two ways to help

Financial.

Pick a partner tier. Each one includes everything in the tier before it.

Both count the same
