Linking the motorsport industry and businesses to education, the Motorsport Academy has lined up a veritable ‘who’s who’ of F1 engineering to share their thoughts on world-class skills, training and employment at its inaugural ‘Motorsport in Education’ conference.

To be held at Silverstone on July 10/11, speakers include Ferrari strategist and the man behind all Michael Schumacher’s record 91 victories, Ross Brawn (pictured); the architect of Fernando Alonso’s back to back world titles, Pat Symonds (Renault F1) and the legendary Patrick Head (WilliamsF1). This landmark event is being marketed by the Motorsport Industry Association (MIA). ‘Motorsport in Education’ is aimed at all those interested and involved in the training, education and skills arena and developing these to world-class level. It will demonstrate and discuss new developments and valuable opportunities linking motorsport to the education sector, and be of enormous potential value and relevance to related businesses, recruitment and training agencies and those directly involved with universities and colleges. Said the recently appointed director of the Motorsport Academy, Eric Newell, “We have secured an unbeatable line-up of world class speakers – without doubt the best brains in world motorsport. This is an unparalleled opportunity for businesses and educators to discover all the things they, their employees or students, need to know to maintain their competitive edge. We are confident of a sell out for this conference, so recommend people to book early!” For further information on the event, or to book a place, call Clare Stone on 02476 692600
