A TEAM of engineering students in Bromsgrove have been crowned international award winners for their latest kitcar build.
Bromsgrove School’s Design Technology Greenpower kitcar building team have come away with three international trophies at Goodwood Motor Circuit 2024.
The senior team were crowned F24+ 2024 Kitcar International Champions. The team also won a trophy for winning the heat and accumulating the most points this season.
This was achieved by a 100 per cent win record throughout the season, competing against universities, colleges and corporations.
This year’s competition was particularly exciting, as both teams had implemented significant modifications to their vehicles since the last heat, and they were eager to test their improvements.
Bromsgrove School’s junior team finished fifth place overall and also won a trophy for Best Presented Team.
Steve Broadbent, DT Teacher and team manager, said: “A three-trophy haul at an international final is an excellent achievement and I would like to thank both teams for an amazing season, our 11th in total.
“This is also the second time we’ve been crowned winners at an International Final.”
The engineering team previously won the championship in 2018 with their Team Chicken build. This year’s build has been dubbed The Egg.
Heartfelt thanks were extended to all team members for their hard work and dedication, as well as to current sponsors.
Point S are the team’s main sponsor, 4QD provide speed controllers and advice, Washford Finishings provide frame coatings, and Eagle Plastics provide ABS on the car.
Gratitude was also shown to Greenpower for their support and for hosting the events. Bromsgrove’s kitcar team is currently seeking new sponsorship opportunities.
