Metis Engineering is proud to announce its sponsorship of Team Bath Racing Electric (TBRe) for the 2025/26 Formula Student season.
As part of this exciting collaboration, Metis Engineering’s logo will feature prominently on TBRe’s latest electric racing car. More significantly, Metis Engineering’s flagship Cell Guard sensors will be integrated into the vehicle’s high-performance battery pack, delivering critical real-time insights into internal conditions such as temperature, moisture ingress, and any volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by cell venting, an early stage of Thermal Runaway, helping ensure battery safety under the demanding conditions of Formula Student competition.
Team Bath Racing Electric, the UK’s #1 electric Formula Student team since 2017, has recently concluded its most successful season to date. In 2023/24, TBRe’s innovative TBRe24 car, featuring a full carbon monocoque chassis and significantly improved electrical reliability, placed second overall in the EV Class at Formula Student Portugal and won the Cost and Manufacturing event at both the UK and Portugal competitions.
“We’re thrilled to be supporting the next generation of engineers through our sponsorship of TBRe,” said Joe Holdsworth, Managing Director and Founder of Metis Engineering. “Formula Student is a proving ground for the next generation of engineers, and the team’s commitment to engineering excellence and safety closely aligns with our own values. The integration of Cell Guard into the race car’s battery pack also provides a fantastic real-world testbed for our technology in high-performance applications.”
With the foundation of a highly successful season behind them, TBRe is looking ahead to even greater ambitions in 2024/25. The team plans to maintain its core vehicle architecture while investing in next-gen innovations, including a transition to 4-wheel drive using in-hub motors.
Abbey Marsden, Team Leader of TBRe25, commented: “We’re incredibly grateful for the support of Metis Engineering. Their Cell Guard sensors add another layer of safety and insight to our powertrain and give our Electrical team valuable data to help drive performance. Partnerships like this are vital to pushing the boundaries of what student-led motorsport engineering can achieve.”
