Jordan Pitt graduated with a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Glasgow. He led the Unsprung Mass & Drivetrain sub-team within UGRacing, the University of Glasgow’s Formula Student race team, and worked extensively on the design and development of drivetrain solutions for their electric vehicle.
UGRacing is the University of Glasgow’s Formula Student team. Since its inception in 2005, the team has been working to compete at Formula Student UK (FSUK). Over the last decade, the team has grown to over 150 members across ten disciplines. With a strong focus on knowledge transfer and iterative design, the team has worked year after year to develop new technologies and a more refined package. In 2022, the team saw a culmination of all their hard work when they placed first overall in FSUK with their final internal combustion vehicle. The following switch to an electric powertrain brought new challenges. Through the constraint of a new powertrain architecture, the team has explored and innovated drivetrain concepts which, in future years, will improve vehicle performance.
