Just Got Accepted On Uni Course

[Ellz]

Well after the last couple of years just working not really going forward in a career i thought what should i do. I went for police force a couple of years back and just missed out by 3% on the day away with the writen papers, role play and interview, bit of a bummer but ho hum.

So about 2-3 months ago starting looking into mechanics courses, found out that a few places were starting to do a foundation degree in motorsport, and a place just down the road from me (North Brook College) based at shoreham airport and worthing (if any of you know the area)

So went along to the opening evening in July and they had only just been signed off on the course as it was so new, so signed up as it sounded pretty good.

Just heard yesterday that I've got a place, gotta go along today and fill out paper work etc

As its a motorsport degree its quite heavily based on maths and physics to do with aerodynamics, chassis etc etc. We will be using mclarens carbon fibre sections up at there Woking plant which i can wait to have a sniff round. We'll also be working with some of the other courses to prepare a couple of Pug 306 rally cars and a little single seater race car, then go racing at weekends. Cant bloomin wait.

just found this on the woking plant looks like a space station lol

Just gotta go and dust off all the old books and calculators as i think the next 2-3 years will be pretty intense.

Gotta say im pretty pleased and hopefully i can now start towards a good career :D
