Tyres.co.uk partners with Cardiff Racing for Formula Student

UK online tyre retailer Tyres.co.uk has entered a partnership with Cardiff Racing, the student-led Formula Student team at Cardiff University. The agreement provides financial support to cover the team’s tyre requirements, which represents one of the most significant annual costs for the electric race car programme.

Formula Student, organized by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, requires university teams to design, manufacture, and race single-seat vehicles. Beyond speed, teams are evaluated on engineering quality, cost management, and business viability. The partnership aims to allow students from the School of Engineering to redirect their budget toward vehicle development and technical improvements.
