Like other cites we're lucky in Wolverhampton to have a Univesity committed to developing the next generation of engineers for our manufacturing sector
Not many though have a fully fledged race team whose driver is currently leading the F3 Cup championship. www.f3cup.co.uk for more info.
I was fortunate enough to spend a weekend with the team as they decamped from HQ to race at Oulton Park. Whilst the weather wasn't the best, they qualified 2nd (missing out on pole by a fraction of a second), came 2nd in the first race and if wasn't for the small off on the last lap, probably would have had a podium in the 2nd race.
Racing aside, the most impressive thing over the weekend was the passion and commitment showed by all the students who got the car ready for all 3 sessions with so much professionalism it was untrue.
The driver, Shane Kelly , is still leading the championship, and the team have 3 rounds to go (Brands Hatch, Silverstone and Snetterton). I have no doubt that the whole of Wolverhampton will be cheering them on. A credit to the city and world of Motorsport.
