Episode Synopsis

It’s me, Mark Stone, and in this episode of the Backseat Driver Podcast, we take a deep dive into the world of motorsport education at Myerscough College. After a strong recommendation from rallying expert Ronnie Sandham, I head over to meet Simon Moss, Lecturer in Motorsport Technology, and Danny Cowell, Lecturer in Vehicle Technology and Motorsport.We explore how Myerscough’s unique programs combine hands-on experience with real competition, preparing students not just to work on cars, but to excel in motorsport engineering and management. From building and racing BMW 116 Trophy cars to working alongside professional teams like M-Sport, students here are exposed to everything from historic rally cars to the latest data-driven race technology.Simon and Danny also discuss the college’s involvement in the North West Stages Rally, their new electric rally projects, the strong ties with major motorsport employers, and how their students are now making their mark at Red Bull Racing, McLaren, and Haas F1.___https://pod.link/1656058575Visit our sponsorsGAZ Shocks 116 TrophyHodder TyresTarox BreaksSAS AutosListen Now Mentioned in this episode:Tarox BrakesSponsored by TAROX Brakes
