Hacky Racers is a DIY electric racing series that aims to get people interested in both racing and building their own racers. You have a £500 budget, excluding safety related components, to build something as small, daft, and fast as possible! With an emphasis on reusing parts wherever possible as well as requiring racers have a themed for their vehicle, we encourage all aspects of STEAM in our contenders. We’re also starting an autonomous racing series to further promote robotics within the UK, with small class alongside our full size racers!
