FORMULA STUDENT 2007 - HELP AND SPONSORS REQUIRED
Discussion
Having now been appointed as a Lecturer in the Science & Technology department of Bell College (in Hamilton) I've been entrusted with the apparently thankless task of mentoring the Formula Student team...
The team has competed in the last 3 events without much success, but we plan to change that for 2007 with a much improved car. No doubt something similar was said last year, and the year before, etc. but we really mean it this time!
Honest.
In all seriousness, we need help and sponsors in all aspects of the venture, everything from money and parts, to marketing and promotional material (e.g. brochures, media, web-site, apparel, stickers, etc.). If you are involved with a company that you think could contribute something to our cause, please get in touch via PM.
There's a real opportunity here to get involved with a competition that we aim to be successful and be recognised in. There's a small band of keen students already working on it and they've made some good progress, but morale is low and the project currently isn't something other students want to get involved in because of the previous reputation.
With your help, we could change that; hopefully turning the B.Eng Motorsport course - unique in Scotland - into something that more new students will be keen to join. This will undoubtedly have the knock-on effect of getting Scotland recognised as a country serious about motorsport.
With momentum being built in this sector through the new Scottish Motorsport Show (where we will be displaying) and the 'Motorsport Scotland' venture, there's never been a better time to get involved.
As an added incentive, the college has modern Longacre corner weight and suspension set-up equipment, which could be made available along with the necessary expertise to those contributors wanting their car's set-up...
