Castle Combe Race - June 2010 On Sunday 27th June the Greenpower Team raced at Castle Combe Race Track in the Formula 24 Western Regional Heat. The MPH team very generously let drivers from the other team take part in the race as only the MPH car was race-ready. Mangotsfield came joint 15th out of 35 cars, so congratulations to the everyone who helped. The picture below shows Ben Goodman driving the MPH car during the race. What is Greenpower? Greenpower is dedicated to promoting engineering and technology as careers to students aged 9-25 in any form of full or part-time education. This is achieved through unique hands-on projects to design, build and race an electric car. The school buys equipment and materials through Greenpower and we aim to meet and race aginst other schools each year. Read more about Greenpower on the Greenpower Website here
	Mangotsfield students with the help of their parents and staff at the school have been building and racing electric cars since 2005. Three cars are being worked on at the moment and if you'd like to help just ask Mr Walker or Mr Salmon in the D&T Department. The group meet between 6:30pm and 8:30pm on Wednesdays in the D&T Workshops. Two members of staff run the club but students should be accompanied by their parents.
