HackyRacers

Hacky Racers is a DIY electric racing series that aims to get more people involved in grass roots motors sports while promoting the sillier aspects of STEAM!

We have a £500 budget limit which makes it more accessible for many people with the added benefit of having size constraints too, this makes transport much easier as most of our racers could easily fit in a hatchback.

The basic rules are 48V nominal battery maximum, 1440W power limited by a standardised fuse, and a chassis no larger than 90cm by 1.5m. There are also requirements for mechanical brakes, a minimum of three wheels, and a bunch of safety requirements like bumpers and battery protection.

If you want to learn more or get involved, the best ways is to join our Facebook group.

If you have any photos or videos from EMF please get in touch if you'd be willing to share them too please, we're usually too busy to get any of our own so it'd be appreciated for sure!
