  Motorsport Events

  This experience was one of my most rewarding opportunities to work firsthand at a motorsport event. I collaborated with my team during a 24-hour endurance race at the Snetterton Circuit, where we encountered numerous challenges, including the need to replace a blown engine within a 15-minute pit stop window. This required exceptional precision, time management, and the ability to swiftly adapt to and resolve any technical issues that arose. Despite being our first-ever motorsport event and competing against many professional teams, our team's efforts resulted in an impressive 6th place finish, a testament to our teamwork, technical skill, and perseverance.
