SEE INSIDE MANUFACTURING WITH McLAREN AUTOMOTIVE

The McLaren Group welcomed a group of local teachers and students to the McLaren Technology Centre for a rare, behind the scenes glimpse into life as a McLaren engineer.

The students taking part in the tour were selected through the McLaren Manufacturing Challenge whereby students were set the task of designing, and building, a motor-less vehicle to carry an object over a 10 metre distance in the quickest time possible. Woking College took the chequered flag with their ingenious mouse-trap propelled vehicle with an impressive time of 2.28 seconds.

See, for most education what students need is motivation, not lecture and notes alone.

I need to win the lottery. My brain wants a 458 Italia and a MP4-12c.

Two very different cars but perfection on different ways.
