RACE CAR ASSEMBLY GUIDE

Welcome to the Student Motorsport Race Car Assembly Guide!

This course is designed to inform and support your team after the disassembly and preparation of your donor vehicle. So now it’s time to rebuild and convert your car, ready for entry into the Student Motorsport Competition.

The guidance within has been developed to inform you of the important safety considerations, highlight key milestones, such as when areas need to be reconditioned or modified, and ready for when parts need to be fitted. We also feature which vehicle systems need attention and working on to meet the regulations set by the BRSCC.

Please be aware that whilst the majority of this guide has been based on the Toyota Aygo, there are elements of the Peugeot 107 and Citroen C1 featured throughout, and you will come across images from more than one car. Rest assured that in most cases, the systems you see and the changes required are almost identical for each model of car.

Points to Remember:

Note that we put in a tremendous effort with our build guide information, that said, we do not cover all areas that you will come into contact with, some we leave down to you to for you as our guide in only intended to cover areas (in the main) where mandatory changes take place. The range of lessons and topics here are designed to serve as guidance to support the car conversion process. We recommend you follow this assembly order, but you are, of course, free to carry out the process in any order.

Important: While we make every effort to provide accurate information and guidance, it is your responsibility to ensure you work safely within your organisation and that your race car (entry) meets the technical regulations set by following and adhering to the BRSCC CityCar Cup Championship and Technical Regulations and any Motorsport UK referenced areas.

Updates, revisions and additions will take place periodically, as we expand and improve our guides since the inaugural Student Motorsport Competition in 2022. Additions to images and the information are an ongoing process, and changes are being carried out throughout our guides and lessons. Thank you for your requests, and keep a lookout for new information and guidance.

We welcome suggestions, feedback, requests and will keep you updated on corrections, revisions, updates and any additions to come!

Best wishes for the assembly process and start of your race car build!
