MOTORSPORT technology students at Brooklands College have built a pair of Caterham Seven sportscars as part of their coursework.

The 24 students, aged between 18 and 30, have spent the past six months building the iconic British sportscars in their high-spec engineering facility based in the grounds of the legendary Brooklands race circuit in Surrey..

Caterham has had similar initiatives established within several schools around the UK for the past four years, helping to give students a "real world" understanding of physics, science, maths, design, business and marketing skills.

Students receive the Sevens in component form and build the lightweight, open-topped cars from the ground up.

The majority of students involved in the Caterham project have aims to work in the motorsport engineering industry.

Andy Noble, of Caterham Cars, said: "It's great to see the students get passionate about a subject, it really brings learning to life."
