FRANNA PARTNER WITH UQ RACING Franna is delighted to announce its partnership with the UQ Racing Formula SAE team. UQ Racing is a team of students from the University of Queensland who design, develop, and build race cars to compete in the Formula SAE competition. Their team is composed of a diverse selection of students from a range of backgrounds including engineering, business, marketing, and IT. This year, Franna assisted UQ racing by providing the team with a brand new MoTeC 150. The new ECU has greatly supported UQR with implementing their new control systems as they continuously strive to improve their performance on the track. In August, we welcomed the UQR board of directors to our Eagle Farm HQ. As part of the visit, delegates were given a tour of the world-class Franna manufacturing facilities and also used the opportunity to shoot a special promo video which you can view by clicking here. 6 / CAL November 2021
