Three teams of Myerscough College & University Centre Motorsport degree students from the first, second and final year attended yesterday's trackday test at Snetterton Race Circuit in Norfolk.

Two Management & Logistics students managed the planning, area set-up and data recording, while the 13 Competition Car Technology students made up three teams, each taking turns to check the car between sessions and undertake practice pit stops ahread of the 116 Gaz Shocks 116 Trophy race at Doningtonnext month.

New lecturer Marcos Vrandecic managed the technical aspects while Chris Boyle oversaw the management and Simon Moss acted as customer, driving the car on track and giving each of the team number-one technicians feedback for set-up and maintenance.

The test was a great success, and with some of the students having never attended an event before, it was great to see those with more experience passing on their knowledge and guidance.

Huge thanks go to the students. Back row: Calvin, Liv, Harrison, Max, Jake, Gregor and Chris. Front row: Mia, Adam, Isaac, Alfie, Tomas, James, Holly, and Abi.

The final 116 Gaz Shocks 116 Trophy round of the season takes place at Donington Park on Sunday 18th October, but before then if you are interested in joining our degree programme in 2027, we have an Open Morning on 3rd October. Booking details are on the website www.ucmyerscough.ac.uk

Our HE degree students have rounded off a fabulous week of Freshers activities with what has now become a much loved tradition, an incredible trip to M-Sport World Rally Team.

After a fantastic week of meeting new people, getting settled in, embracing student life and enjoying plenty of ice breakers, there could be no better way to bring Freshers Week to a close.

The students had the amazing opportunity to step inside the world of M-Sport, getting a behind the scenes look at the facilities, technology, engineering and expertise that sit at the heart of one of the world’s leading rally teams. 🏆🔧

It’s always a highlight of the week and a brilliant reminder of just how exciting a future in motorsport can be.

A huge thank you to M-Sport for having us— and we hope that our students have had a memorable first week! 🙌

Freshers Week: complete. ✔️

Another fantastic day out for the team as we attended the World of Work Careers Fair at The Nelson Thomlinson School in Wigton.

Following on from yesterday’s STEM event at West Lancs College, the team were back on the road, showcasing the exciting opportunities available when studying at Myerscough.

As always, our race car and simulator proved incredibly popular, with students keen to jump into the sim rig, test their driving skills, and get up close to a real race car. Using the BMW 116 emulator, students got a realistic taste of what it’s like to drive the race car on display. Today’s fastest time was Joeseph with a 1:22.260 🏁

Today’s event was aimed primarily at Year 10 students as they begin thinking about their future careers and the world of work. However, it was fantastic to see such great engagement across the whole school, with over 750 students involved throughout the day.

A huge thank you to The Nelson Thomlinson School for inviting us along and to our student ambassadors, Alice and Adam 👏
