Data has been filled in where available, but several values are still missing.

*the Lap Time Simulation (LTS) event was first included in the FSUK competition in 2022.

**in 2020, Formula Student UK's competition format was changed temporarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic.{{Cite web |title=2020 Award Winners |url=https://www.imeche.org/events/formula-student/previous-events/2020-award-winners |access-date=2023-01-29 |website=www.imeche.org}} UH Racing chose to continue the development of their vehicle into 2021, intending to compete with UH23 at FSUK 2021. Unfortunately, further delays associated with the pandemic meant the car was not ready to enter, and further development continued into 2022.

UH Racing has finished in the top three at Formula Student UK a total of three times, according to the [https://imeche.org/events/formula-student/previous-events IMechE website].{{Cite web |title=Previous events |url=https://www.imeche.org/events/formula-student/previous-events |access-date=2023-01-29 |website=www.imeche.org}}
