The special Motorsport themed session takes place on the evening of Tuesday 23 June and will explore how exciting, challenging and truly rewarding the Motorsport industry can be.

Hannah was selected after recently being celebrated as the 50,000th competitor of the world’s largest student motorsport event, Formula Student. Formula Student, run by the Institution of Mechanical Engineering, is in its 18th year and challenges student engineers to design, build and race a single seat racing car in one year. The event takes place in Silverstone 8-12 July.

The event will welcome a host of motorsport professionals including engineers, drivers, students and team managers to celebrate National Women in Engineering Day. Delegates can share experiences, make new contacts and hear about the wide range of career paths the motorsport engineering industry has to offer.
