On 21 October, University of Malta Racing (UoMR) held START HERE, an introductory meeting for all University of Malta students interested in joining the team. The meeting was held at the University of Malta Msida Campus.
During the meeting, the president of UoMR, Kurt Dalli presented the Formula SAE competition and UoMR's story so far while team leaders Matthew Buhagiar and Fabio Cauchi presented the business and engineering side of the project.
During the meeting, UoMR also announced the team's plans for the near future and explained its organisational structure as well as membership expectations and benefits.
