MOTORSPORT students will be in the heart of the racing circuit as they prepare to make their debut in the MINI Challenge.
Chichester College is entering its own car for the competition which consists of seven rounds of racing at some of the most prestigious circuits.
The car will be run by students on the Level 2 Motorsport Maintenance Diploma.
They will be responsible for maintaining and repairing the vehicle as well as providing track support during race meetings.
Student Josh Lednor, 17, said: “It’s very exciting. I’m really looking forward to going to the first race.
“Each race, we’ll be looking after the car making sure it runs well and stays in one piece. We’ll also be prepping it at college before races, and running repairs afterwards.
“It’s just exciting to be involved in going to races and getting hands-on experience in the real world.”
