context_page_description: UoP Racing Team is the first and longest running Greek Formula Student team located in University of Patras. Founded in 2002 and supported throughout the years by the Laboratory for Manufacturing Systems & Automation, UoP Racing team members design, develop and manufacture high-performance racecars that compete in the Formula Student series around the globe, alongside hundreds of teams from all over the world.
context_section_description: UoP5evo was an upgrade on almost every aspect in comparison to the UoP5e. The chassis was constructed using the cut and fold technique, with honeycomb aluminum panels. The results were superior mechanical properties and better weight to stiffness ratio. Furthermore, even more improved ergonomics were achieved, while also a higher safety of the driver. In terms of aero, it was redesigned from scratch. The front wing was made shorter, and the back wing consisted of two instead of four elements. Moreover, the undertray was chosen to be more aggressive and efficient. Finally, the side foils were abandoned for a nose cone foil able to balance the front and rear wings. At last the electronics were completely redesigned too. The use of lower capacity batteries was managed by opting for higher voltage. In addition, we used the CAN-bus notes leading to simplified wiring. The lower capacity batteries and the unified wiring harness led to a decrease in the overall weight of our car. The UoP5evo carried on the success of its predecessor by securing the 1rst place in the Efficiency Dynamic Event and the 3rd place in the Cost Event  and  the 1st place among the electric racecars, during the FSUK 2017 competition, in addition to being competitive during the FSG 2017 competition.
