Ever wondered how you get into motorsport engineering? What is a development driver and what do they do? What is it like to be an engineer? What subjects do you need to take at school? We asked Professional Racing Driver and Rodin Cars Development Driver, Jamie Chadwick, to let us know a little background information around how she got into racing, what her role with Rodin Cars involves, and how a Development Driver works with the engineering team to improve the performance of the Rodin FZED and FZERO supercars.
We also had a chat with 4th year engineering student from Monash University, Jessica Lee, who is also the Electrical Systems Manager for the Monash Motorsport Formula SAE team - a program which sees student-lead teams from all over the world design, build and compete against each other with their own race cars (check it out here: [ Ссылка ]). Jessica is studying a double degree in electrical engineering and computer science, and tells us a bit about what engineering is and why she loves it.
What do you think about automotive engineering within the motorsport industry as a career?
**This video was created as part of a school visit to the Rodin Facilities in New Zealand to inspire students to explore engineering as a future career choice. We would like to thank Jamie Chadwick, Jessica Lee, and Monash Motorsport for being part of this project.
