01 01. Made up of students from across our engineering disciplines, team Brighton Racing Motors project managed, designed and built Apex, a prototype Formula 1 racing car. Apex was our first entry for Formula Student, the European educational engineering competition from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). Our team qualified and got to race the car at Silverstone.

Being a part of a team and learning how to work well in a team is something I’ll take away from my experience. It’s the first time I have been a part of a project that’s spanned a year, being involved in the start-up, design, manufacturing and end result – it’s rewarding and definitely given me a work ethic that I’ll carry with me.

It was an honour to represent the University of Brighton and also to promote female engineers. I worked on the design and Jodie and I collaborated on putting our robot together.
