orthbrook Motorsport student, Ryan Kingshott, has been awarded a work placement with the Porsche Cars GB race team.
Ryan, 18, is currently studying on a National Diploma in Motorsport and got the placement when he enquired about work experience with the company at one of their stands at the Autosport International show.
This is the fifth year running that Porsche Cars GB have run the placement and it will give Ryan the chance to spend the race weekends working on the VIP car and with the team. Previous work placement students have gone on to work fulltime for the company.
Ryan has gained extensive experience whilst studying at the College and getting involved with the College’s TNR (Team Northbrook Racing) racing car. With the team, he has escorted the car to Brands Hatch, Abingdon and Rallye Sunseeker held in Bournemouth. He has also scrutineered at two rallies with the College.
Ryan said, “I have been into cars since I can remember. I have just tried to get involved wherever I could, whenever I could and it has obviously paid off.”
