On Friday 05/05/2017 the year 11 and 12 Automotive Engineering and Technology student visited Barbagello Raceway to watch the Supercars and other classifications practice for Sunday’s racing. It was a wonderful opportunity for the students to see behind the scenes of the requirements to race on the day.

Aside from the Supercars, the class favorites were the stadium trucks and the drift cars. The drivers and the Club Presidents were very generous with time for the students, which was greatly appreciated.

Another highlight was the availability of pit lane, where the public can visit and see how much work goes into the setting up of the cars. This is closed on the Saturday and Sunday.

A big thanks to Russell Sewell, who made the day possible, which has inspired the students.
