LUU Motorsport brings you karting, sim racing, F1 socials and everything motorsport. Race in the BUKC, take on the Tour de Yorkshire, and meet your people. There's something here for every motorsport fan.
We're the home of motorsport at the University of Leeds. From first-timers who've never sat in a kart to British F3 race-winners, everyone lines up on the same grid. We race hard, we socialise harder, and we welcome absolutely everyone.
National BUKC rounds plus our own Tour de Yorkshire championship across the county's best circuits.
Our fortnightly e-TdY hot-lap challenge on Discord, plus gaming and qualifying watchalongs.
F1 watch-alongs every race weekend, quiz nights, bowling, wellbeing sessions and big nights out.
LEEDS. LEEDS. LEEDS.
Whether you're chasing the front of the BUKC grid or just here for the F1 and the friends, you've found your grid slot. Pull on the green, grab a helmet, and let's go racing.
All our linksKarts capable of over 75 mph and 5–60 in 4.5 seconds. Four ways to get on track, whatever your experience. And remember — you never need a driving licence.
We race against 50+ UK universities across 8 rounds at 4 tracks nationwide, plus test days through the year. From total beginners to British F3 race-winners, there's a tier for everyone.
Our own in-house championship — typically 8 rounds at the crème de la crème of Yorkshire's indoor and outdoor circuits. The perfect place for beginners to hone their craft, with special group endurance rounds along the way.
The perfect place for women to go karting, with experience or without. We run Women's Only Give-It-A-Gos in Freshers' and Refreshers' weeks, experienced driving events through the year, plus our big collaborative UK-wide event in Semester 2.
Each Freshers' and Refreshers' week we run a variety of GIAG karting sessions at our local track, TeamSport Leeds. For novices and beginners, it's the easiest way to try the fastest sport on offer at Leeds. No membership needed.
Give-It-A-Gos, socials and sim racing need no membership at all — just turn up. For BUKC, the Tour de Yorkshire and all our ticketed events, grab your yearly membership on LUU Engage.
Covered on track. Every membership purchase includes the LUU Personal Accident Insurance for Motorsport, so you can race with peace of mind.
Our official teamwear is made by Harlequin Teamwear — the same kit our drivers wear on the BUKC grid. Personalise it with your name and represent Leeds Motorsport wherever you race.
A trophy cabinet that keeps growing. We're proud to be one of the most decorated societies at LUU.
