XRacing is a motorsports team that represents the University of Exeter in the IMECHe Formula Student competition[3]. The team designs, engineers, builds, and markets open-wheel cars to compete annually at Silverstone Circuit against international university competitors.

The team established in September 2012 and continues to operate within the Streatham campus based in Exeter, Devonshire, United Kingdom. Although participation is open to students of any discipline, those studying at the university's Penryn Campus cannot join due to geographical restrictions. Directly supported by the University of Exeter's engineering department, the University oversees students developing the car from design to construction.

The team's core focus is providing students a valuable platform for experiential learning and skill development. Originally dominated by engineering students, the team underwent a significant transformation in 2023, actively recruiting interdisciplinary talents from fields like Marketing, Computer Science, Economics, and Business Administration. This shift resulted in a diverse composition, with non-engineering students comprising 25% of the team. Organised into modular sub-teams, each overseen by a designated leader, the team operates cohesively to pursue its objectives.
