UCM Monthly: Moments That Matter
Each month, we share photos and the stories behind them.
This month, we’re looking back at the titanium 3D-printed uprights and suspension brackets produced for UCM25.
A huge thank you to Rodin Cars , whose support helped turn months of design and simulation into components. Seeing these parts realized was a major milestone for the whole team.

Fresh gear dropped and rubber burned. Great turn out at the UCM Karting event last week.

UCM Monthly: Moments That Matter
Each month, we share photos and the stories behind them.

A throwback to last year when our new DTI motor and inverter package arrived for UCM25.

After months of preparation, the team wasted no time getting stuck in. Within two days of receiving the kit, the team had motors spinning. This was a pivotal step during the development of the UCM25 car as we closed in on first drive.

This would not of been possible without the work of who produced the package, but also raised the bar for FS drivetrains and usability.
Thank you for your support.

That's a wrap on Christchurch.
Awesome weekend, lots of good chats, over 2000 KM on the sim, and heaps of future UCMers made!

We’ll be at the ITM Christchurch Super 440 from Friday 17 April to Sunday 19 April with UCM25 and our simulator setup.

Come find us in Merchandise Alley A inside Gate 3, right next to Rodin.

The fastest lap in the sim wins a voucher for Skellerup Red Band gumboots!

UCM Monthly: Moments That Matter
Each month, we share a photo and the story behind it.

This one was taken just before our autocross run at Formula SAE Australasia 2025.

After issues in the previous event, the final morning of competition turned into a race to get the car to the start line before it closed. We made it there with only minutes to spare, just enough to get both drivers out. Our first driver put in a banking lap, then our second driver went out and set the fastest time of the entire competition.

Sadly, because of the late start penalty, we came away with 2nd in autocross, missing what would have been UCM’s first ever autocross win. Even so, just making it out on track felt like a victory, and that result played a major part in securing our overall EV win.
