With their exhaust in place, the Staffordshire University team was able to make the grid at Silverstone on 22 July for the Formula Student Event. Joe Grimer, Team Leader at Staffordshire University Racing, commented: “For this year’s car we wanted to improve packaging and reduce weight compared to our previous entry ‘Bertha’. A key development path was adopting sidemounted radiators, and accommodating this meant we needed a new exhaust design. Due to its support for us in the past and its local manufacturing expertise, we asked Klarius to help.” Jayson Prince, a member of the race team and Project Engineer at Klarius, designed the exhaust. He said: “The exhaust manifold is a critical area for performance gain. Pipes must enable a smooth, high velocity flow of exhaust gases from the engine, which is a considerable challenge within the confines of a well packaged race car. In our case, this was further complicated by the car’s high-revving 675cc bike engine, all of which would inherently require a bespoke solution.” Doug Bentley, Head of Research and Development at Klarius and a former Staffordshire University engineering student, added: “We are proud to support young engineers with our expertise. The fact that Formula Student helps the industry is very apparent, as shown by Jayson of the Staffordshire Uni Racing team joining our company on a working placement. From everyone at Klarius, we wish the team all the best of luck at Silverstone.” Klarius support student racing team with exhaust
