Motorsports Workshop

The Motorsports Workshop is a dedicated space created to support our students’ learning of race car design and manufacture.

Students carry out the vast majority of work themselves with assistance from technicians. The premise is the same with all such activities, the aim is to gain real design and production experience.

Motorsports (Cars)
The workshop has 2 build areas for Formula Student cars.

Motorsports (Race car set up area)

The workshop has a Formula Ford race car and all the equipment required to learn about all aspects of race car suspension geometry and set-up.

Motorsports (Simulators)

The workshop has 2 simulators on which the students can put their knowledge of race car suspension settings to the test. They can also use the data logging features to compare their driving to other students and analyse where and how improvements to lap times might be achieved. One of the simulators is wheelchair accessible with all controls on the steering wheel.

Motorsports (Go Karts)

The workshop has a bay for 2 go-karts for the students to strip and rebuild. They gain hands-on experience, learning about some of the tools, fasteners and techniques used in motorsport vehicle preparation.
