2014 Car Name.

It gives us the greatest pleasure to announce that we have named our 2014 car. Our 2014 car is the 10th car produced by Cardiff Racing and the one person who has been involved from the start is our team technician Lee Treherne. Therefore, we found it fitting to name the car after his new baby daughter #Louisa.#FormulaStudent #CR10 #FSUK
