Feel the speed, but staying green
Slindon College’s Greenpower Team were treated to a one in
a million experience at Brands Hatch after being personally invited by Mr Jonathon Palmer, former Formula 1 driver and Chief Executive of the racing circuit.
The pupils were treated to
behind the scenes action including a tour of the circuit, race control and the opportunity to stand on the winner’s podium. One of their lucky pupils also had the chance
to drive an electric car on the finishing straight! The trip was as a result of Mr Palmer landing his helicopter at the College during the summer and seeing the College’s work on inspiring young people to excel in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths through designing, building and racing a Greenpower electric car.
