Here is a look at what to expect from UM Racing’s upcoming Open Day and why this team is the one to watch.

The Big Reveal: Meet the EV26

The UM team is officially pulling the covers off their latest masterpiece: the EV26 electric race car. This high voltage beast is being prepped to represent Malta on the global stage at Formula Student UK 2026 at the legendary Silverstone circuit.

A Legacy in the Making

UoMR isn’t just showing up, they’re coming off a historic hot streak. 2025 was a landmark year for the squad, where they secured a Top 10 finish at FSUK with Malta’s very first locally designed and built electric racer. If that wasn’t enough, they also took home the Innovation Catalyst Award at the Malta Engineering Excellence Awards. To say they have momentum would be an understatement.
