Motorsport in the England's East Midlands

In the UK, motorsport engineering and services has a total turnover in excess of £ 5 billion, of which 50% is exported. The industry employs 38,000 people, with 75% of this workforce being highly qualified engineers working in 3,000 individual, mostly small and medium sized enterprises. The motorsport sector and its supply chain drives the development and growth of companies which make up the cluster of 450 high-performance engineering (HPE) companies in the East Midlands, including 200 motorsport-specific companies.

Specialist Answers (6) But there is also a huge skills overlap which takes the business activity of HPE companies into the field of servicing for the automotive, aerospace, electronics, material technology, watersports and medical technologies sectors.

Motorsport Industry

UK teams, engineering firms and supporting services have been a major global force in motorsport for many years now. In the UK, motorsport manufacturing is concentrated in a cluster that includes the East Midlands, Northamptonshire in particular. Here, we boast major venues for racing and testing vehicles:

  • Silverstone, the internationally renowned, world-class venue for motorsport events home of the British F1 Grand Prix and British Motorcycle Grand Prix
  • Rockingham, the only 'oval' motorsport circuit in the UK
  • Santa Pod, the UK's premier drag racing strip
  • MIRA, renowned as a leading design, testing and certification organization that provides engineering expertise and advanced testing facilities across the entire range of transport technologies
With such resources on hand it is easy to see why 200 plus major motorsport companies, employing 6,000 people with an annual turnover of £ 0.6 billion, have made their base in the East Midlands. In addition, the region is home to:

  • Internationally recognized engine builders including Cosworth, Ilmor Engineering, Mahle Powertrain and Mercedes-Benz High Performance Engines
  • A significant share of the international motorsport supply chain, (including expertise in composites and precision engineering)
  • F1 constructors Mercedes F1 and Force India
The National College of Motorsport

A partnership of three further education colleges based in the heart of Motorsport Valley, this was the first vocational center for motorsport and performance engineering to tackle the decline and shortage of craft technicians' skills within the motorsport industry. Tresham Institute, based at Silverstone circuit, provides training for students entering motorsport as race technicians.

What Is an AGO Oil Product or Automatic Gas Oil? Finding Authentic AGO Petroleum Supply / Supplier

A recent survey conducted by this writer on the Internet for a quick, snap shot sense of the subject matter, immediately revealed that there's a state of relatively scanty knowledge of, or information about, this particular refined petroleum product called the AGO, among international oil dealers and suppliers. In deed, in one rather remarkable instance involving a popular 'Ask for Answers' online discussion portal, one reader expressly posited the question, soliciting information from the readers as to what is / was 'the meaning' of the petroleum term AGO, among three other refined petroleum products, which he went on to list - DPK, PMS, JET A1. There was just one response - a response that has stood the same for 5 years since. Oddly enough, however, of the 4 oil products that the answerer named, the answerer was exactly accurate in the definition he proffered on three of those. But, on ONLY one of them, the AGO product, the answer given by the answerer was s...

The Theory of Petrol Head

There is no point in driving a fast car slow as there is (almost) no point in driving an F1 in a racetrack asphalt. This is the 101 of driving a road illegal fancy machine in a straight line without using any maneuvering driving skill. Rather, the ridiculous speed at the race pit cracks the nervous system of most of the racers. This is the strutting catwalk of a nervous fashion diva in the weirdest dress who can never use it in other forms let alone in the street! Formula One is the science at its best and a product of mad professors and genius engineers at whitewashed labs. It is the showdown of expensive engineering marvels of automobile industry, where the only fun lies in enduring frequent lateral 5G force in multiple left and right-hand turns. Any steel-nerve noob with 10-2 clocking can clutch a V8 or V10 in a drag race and beat a quarter mile, unless he blows off his piston by throttling to the redline! If speed and automotive engineering were everything in racing, then hyper car...
