What a great end to the academic year with the IMechE Formula Student competition this year! The Formula Student competition brings together student led teams from across the globe to design and build formula-style cars to compete in various challenges. The Salford Racing team has faced many challenges in its 8-year history, with last year's team struggling to pass the noise test. So for this year, we set a target of passing every test and attending the dynamic events. Not only did we achieve this, but the team also finished in 8th place overall—an amazing result! This achievement is a result of the hard work put in by the team members before us, who laid a solid foundation of knowledge for us to build upon. I am grateful for their efforts and the hard work from everyone on the team this year, particularly Mustafa Youssef, Mohamed AL Haddad, Jonathan Wheater, Kelly Charite, Thomas Murphy, Jakob Vogan - Fox, Benjamin Naylor, Caitlin Andrews, Ishmael Armstrong, Joseph Cook. A massive thank you to our sponsors Morson Projects and The University of Salford with its Makerspace team, particularly our facility advisor Aidan Dunbar, whose contributions were vital to our success this year. Taking on the role of the Lead Chassis and Statics Engineer came with some unique challenges, which allowed me to grow and learn new skills. But it was all worth it to have the sense of pride and accomplishment that I do now. Thank you, everyone, for this amazing opportunity. #SalfordRacing #FormulaStudent #Silverstone #Engineering #Teamwork #FSUK2024 #Morson #UniOfSalford #makerspace #MakeInSalford

Morson Projects had a great week at Farnborough International Airshow. It provided us with the perfect platform to meet with a number of well-established partners, strengthen new relationships and forge new connections with a brilliant collection of industry leaders, innovators and stakeholders. As an Engineering consultancy, it’s always a great opportunity to discuss ongoing projects and explore future opportunities, as well as see the end products that so many of our team have helped support. Thank you to Helen Haxell and Mike Morrisroe from Leonardo Helicopters for hosting Becky Veal and I, and thank you to everyone else that took the time to speak with us. #FIA2024 #Aerospace #Innovation #Collaboration Morson Projects

We are wheels up! Vertical is delighted that at 17:45 on Thursday 25th July, we successfully conducted the first piloted flight of the new, more advanced VX4 aircraft.   The new prototype performed a piloted flight while loosely tethered to the ground, during which Vertical measured over 20,000 flight and system parameters to verify thrust, handling qualities and system performance.    This also makes Vertical’s Chief Test Pilot, Justin Paines, the only pilot to have flown two different eVTOLs.    An enormous amount of hard work and determination from the whole team has made this possible as we reach the first step on our flight test programme towards piloted transition. #VX4 #eVTOL #FlightTest

Salford Racing Make History!❤ Wow! What a week! Not only did Salford Racing get onto the track for the first time in our history, we managed to be the second car (and the first UK car) to finish the Sunday endurance. We're incredibly proud of everything that we have accomplished. Great work went in by all the team and we're incredibly lucky to be supported by our sponsors Morson Projects Salford Van Hire Crisp Tuning Our results were: Cost: 28th - 60.79pts Design: 24th - 72pts Business: 22nd - 70.4pts Sprint: 10th - 41.99pts Endurance: 5th - 111.1pts Overall: 8th - 411.6pts In 2023, we managed to get to the noise test but due to an engine issue, we weren't able to get the car started. We were determined to come into 2024 with a running start and that we did. All through the year the team has worked tiredlessly to get the car ready earlier than ever.💪🏻 We couldn't have done this without the MakeInSalford Makerspace with Aidan Dunbar. We appreciate every single person in this team and all our supporters.🤍 Roll on 2025! #RaceTeam #Improvement #FormulaStudent #Manchester #RaceCar #Salford #UniOfSalford #SalfordUni #Engineering #STEM #EarlyCareers

IMechE Formula Student What a weekend that was! This is one I'll remember for a very, very long time. From the struggles/tears of 2023 to the tears of joy of 2024 season, it's been an incredible journey for the year. Moving from the top 50 to the top 10 and becoming the first British team to complete the endurance and finish 8th overall is almost unbelievable. This achievement truly highlights the incredible team I'm part of. Everyone's hard work has paid off, and I'm so, so happy for all of us, especially Jonathan Wheater and Thomas Murphy who finally got to drive the car and all their hard work paying off. Their years of effort have finally come to fruition. I can't wait to see the changes our team will undergo in the coming year as we aim for the top 5, alongside our favorites, Staffordshire Uni Racing A big shoutout to everyone at Morson Projects Morson Talent Morson Group who came to cheer for us, supporting us through our highs and lows over the years in all aspects. Your support is immensely appreciated. Looking forward to this new chapter! #silverstone #engineering #Formulastudent #formula #Afghan #British #TOP

It been 3 years since we started sponsoring the IMechE Formula Student team - Salford Racing. The support was born out of our long standing relationship with The University of Salford and the Morson Maker Space. Every year we have seen progress, culminating this year with the team making it onto the track with the car, after getting so close last year and the disappointment that brought! To many this doesn’t sound much of an achievement but trust me it’s difficult to get a car on the track! To top that Salford Racing came 8th overall. I know everyone at Morson Projects are really proud of their achievements. It was great to be at Silverstone to witness the joy, emotion and satisfaction the team got from their outstanding efforts.

What a weekend for Salford Racing... 8th in the world! 🏆 🏎 The Morson Projects-sponsored team from The University of Salford competed against universities from across the world in the IMechE Formula Student event at #Silverstone, a student engineering challenge aimed at developing the next generation of world-class engineers. Students design and build a race car from scratch, and then put their engineering and business skills through a series of challenges, including chassis, noise, brake tests and more. This is followed by an endurance race around a custom track on the famous Copse corner. For the first time ever, the Salford team passed ALL challenges and completed the endurance race, finishing a record 8th, far ahead of their previous best of 31st! A huge well done to the team 👏 #Morson #FormulaStudent #Engineering #Racing

Incredibly proud to witness Salford Racing not only hit the track for the first time in there history but also to finish in 8th place at the IMechE Formula Student 2024!!!!!! after the heartbreak of failing at the last round of scruteneering last year the whole team came back with a vegence! 6 stickers and a sprint race on the Saturday seemed like a dream 12 months a go. Already looking forward to what 2025 looks like with Morson Projects and Salford Racing!!!!!

What a weekend at Silverstone for IMechE Formula Student with Salford Racing. The team were agonisingly close to racing in 2023 but ultimately came away disappointed. This year Jon Callahan CEng FIMechE, Graham Eardley and I have watched the team harness that disappointment, and with teamwork, passion and dedication took a giant leap forward, finishing 2024 with their best ever result!!! Absolutely inspirational effort from a superb group of young men and women. Everyone Morson Projects is massively proud, huge congratulations and enjoy tonight, you have all earned it!! 🎉🍾🏆 Jon Callahan CEng FIMechE Andy Hassall Hannah Cook MCIM Dean Ellison Dr Maria Stukoff #teamwork

Noise, chassis, tech, safety, tilt and brake tests… PASSED! ✅ It’s Saturday at #Silverstone with the Morson-sponsored Salford Racing competing in the annual #FormulaStudent event, and they’ve already smashed last year by making it to the racing stage. Last year, the team sadly didn’t make it through the first stage before running out of time, but this year the team have come back stronger, passing all tests 48 hours ahead of last year 💪🏻 A time trial around a challenging track on Copse corner await the team, with the potential of making endurance race tomorrow. 🏁 The University of Salford x Morson Projects
