Harper Adams University Joins Hills Ford Stages to Boost “Get Involved” Mission
We’re thrilled to announce an exciting collaboration with Harper Adams University for the Hills Ford Stages open day on August 11th at Ledbury Rugby Club. Known for producing top-notch technicians for Hills Ford, Harper Adams will showcase their “Rallying the Wright Way” programme, which offers a deep dive into motorsport and rallying careers.
Visitors will witness live servicing demonstrations under the expert guidance of Charlie Wright. This programme highlights the evolution of motorsport careers, showcasing that today’s technicians and engineers are highly skilled professionals who undergo extensive training to master the complexities of modern vehicles.
The “Rallying the Wright Way” initiative is an applied education project where Harper Adams students manage a competitive rally team using an M-Sport Fiesta R2T. This hands-on experience covers all aspects of rally logistics, engineering, and car preparation, while also offering opportunities in marketing and media production. Students engage with real-world skills and professional challenges, making it an exceptional learning platform.
This year, the programme includes exciting opportunities for students to connect with the M-Sport World Rally Team, potentially leading to placements or graduate positions. Two dissertation projects will be closely linked to the team, reflecting the programme’s commitment to integrating academic and practical experience.
Dan Lister, Clerk of the Course, emphasizes, “The Hills Ford Stages is not only about the event itself but also about making a positive impact on the community throughout the year. This partnership with Harper Adams University highlights our dedication to fostering local talent and providing valuable career pathways.”
Rich Millener from M-Sport adds, “Harper Adams students are significantly better from day one, thanks to their hands-on training and experience.”
This open day is an excellent chance to explore career opportunities in motorsport and rallying. Visit us on August 11th to learn more about how you can “Get Involved” and see the impressive work of the “Rallying the Wright Way” team.
