Preparing a Race Vehicle for an Event

Welcome to the Preparing a Vehicle for an Event guide!

This course is designed to point out and create a better understanding of the key areas and activities that take place to prepare a racing vehicle for a motorsport event. Whilst your time spent at the circuit might be during a media day, test or even for a race event the preparation carried out will largely remain the same. A good understanding of the key areas and activities that are required will not only support your development but will also help to create and safer, more efficient and professional way of working.

Throughout this course, we cover a range of areas from important inspection areas, preparation practices, right through to geometric setup.

The information and guidance found within has been developed and written to be mindful of and include those with differing skills and knowledge levels, so please be aware we’ve covered a wide range and level of competencies when we developed our guides. We’re confident that there’s something here to learn and take away for everyone whether you’re an enthusiast, perhaps a student enrolled on a motorsport course, maybe an amateur racecar driver looking to build and race their very own racecar, right through to a well-seasoned racing team looking to venture into a new racing competition.

The lessons within this course may refer to and also be linked to several other documents in our overall resources including those entered into the Student Motorsport Challenge.

Best wishes for the start or continuation of your motorsport career!
