Cosan supports Formula Student entry

27 June 2014  

Cosan Lubricants is supporting students from Sussex University in their project to win the international Formula Student motorsport competition.

Under the banner of Mobil 1 Team Sussex, the company will be supplying Mobil and Comma lubricants as well as team clothing. This will be the sixth year Sussex university has entered the competition, which is organised by the Institute of Mechanical Engineers. The competition challenges students at universities around the world to compete against each other in a single-seat race car which they have designed and developed from scratch. The event  consists of a series of static and dynamic events stretching over four days. Static events include a design report, cost report and business proposal: the dynamic elements include acceleration, skid pad, sprint and endurance tests

Cosan Spokesman Mike Bewsley comments: “With our long history in motorsport, we’re really happy to be supporting this project, and wish the team every success. It’s good to think that we may be contributing to a bright future in motorsport for some of these young engineers, and that they will have positive memories of Cosan and its products as they set out on their careers.”
