University of Derby

Team Derby Motorsport is a university-run racing team based at the University of Derby, with several years of experience competing in Radical championships. The team has achieved race wins, frequent podium finishes, and most recently secured the overall Radical Club Challenge title.

The programme is powered entirely by students, who are responsible for all aspects of the operation, including car preparation, engineering, data analysis, and race execution. Supported by academic expertise but driven by student capability, Team Derby Motorsport operates to professional standards both on and off the circuit.

The team’s sustained on-track success reflects a culture of technical excellence, teamwork, and real-world motorsport engineering, demonstrating what a well-structured, student-led programme can achieve.
