⚡ A great weekend at the Formula E London E-Prix!

The MIA and its members were out enjoying the Formula E action, and it was great to see some familiar faces from the MIA School of Race Engineering.

It was fantastic to see one of our tutors, Mark Preston, and have the opportunity to catch up and discuss the latest developments in Formula E. We also met some of our School of Race Engineering graduates in the paddock! 🏁

We're delighted to see our School community continuing to grow and stay connected across the motorsport industry.

🏁 An experience that helped shape a motorsport career.

Our alumni, Luis Warden Gois, joined the MIA School of Race Engineering to broaden his understanding of the motorsport industry.

When asked about his experience at the School, Luis commented:

💬 "Back in 2019, I attended the MIA School of Race Engineering, and it was a great experience that helped me broaden my understanding of the motorsport industry. The course, with its tutors and hands-on activities, was truly engaging and insightful. Even though my current role isn’t directly related to race engineering, it gave me valuable knowledge and a broader perspective on how teams operate during a race weekend. It definitely helped me find my path into motorsport. I’d recommend it to anyone looking to start a career in the field."💬
