Learn To Win
The second Learn to Win event was held at the prestigious Silverstone Circuit on 27-28 October 2007, was dramatically revamped with newly introduced workshops to help teams prepare for FS2008. The event was an outstanding success with 21 universities attending. Over 300 students took part in the informative seminars followed by a series of workshops with specialist engineers. Teams received advice from Head Judges and were able to gain a head-start by learning from the Judges’ experiences and targeting experts in each workshop area for guidance on their FS2008 design ideas and concepts.
