 Honda Yuasa BTCC Team Dynamics Competition
Two
lucky Formula Student entrants spent the day with
motorsport champions Honda Yuasa BTCC team, Team
Dynamics. Russell Paddon, from the University of
Hertfordshire, and Chris Gomm, from the University of
Leeds, attended an Engineers Day at the Donington Park
round of the British Touring Car Championship.
Chris
said: "The Engineers Day was exceptionally
insightful as it gave me a view of the day to day
running of a top level professional race
team.”
Russell
said: “The lessons I learnt from the day with the
Honda Yuasa Racing Team is that victory comes at a cost,
long hours, hard work and determination. However,
with perseverance and a goal you can achieve success and
realise your potential.”
