"Baby Rodin": UCM and Rodin Cars partner in National Motorsport Programme

“With many of the staff at Rodin Cars graduates of the University of Canterbury”, began David Dicker, founder and CEO of Rodin Cars, “we see a natural fit in partnering with the University of Canterbury Motorsport team (UCM) for the newly developed National Motorsport Programme. Not only it is a way for Rodin Cars to give back to UCM, but it also demonstrates the type of career available to graduates.” The UCM (University of Canterbury Motorsport) and Rodin Cars are excited to announce a partnership for 2021 that will see the 2018 FSAE racecar redesigned and re-engineered for entry into a series of motorsport events that will showcase the racing, engineering and technological prowess of the UCM, with additional technical support and assistance delivered by Rodin Cars. “The partnership between Rodin cars and the University of Canterbury Motorsport team has been vital in our success of building a competitive package. From designing the cars where we have had technical support from Rodin Cars’ engineers (many of whom are University of Canterbury Motorsport team alumni), to building the cars with access to the Rodin Cars autoclave, plastics and metal 3D printers, and finally to having access to Rodin Cars' test circuits. We wouldn't be where we are today without them," says team manager and former UCM driver, Jared Parker.
