Above my site when I clicked Motorsport University was this site!

It appears to be a Swiss Uni. I am not sure of it's accreditation. It offers online learning.
When I first mooted this idea in 2001 only Cranfield offered specific Motorsport courses at Masters level.
Dave Taitt and Glyn Owen were working in parallel to me. Dave Taitt now chairs the Hethel Engineering Centre.
My immediate management in Malaysia showed no interest in persuing this. In fact just before I left a rather rotund and egotistical member of the management team berated me for about half an hour in front of a local member of staff.
To this day, I have not succeeded in convincing Group Lotus that this is a good idea. Shame!
Once again, I read Joe Saward today.
Here is a portion of his article on McLaren.
McLaren powers ahead of new technical centre

It will also accommodate spaces for teaching and training, which will enable McLaren to play a significant role in developing new and advanced technical engineering skills in partnership with local schools and colleges.
I have to think that one day soon (It's been a decade!) the people at Group will forget their ego's and embrace a very sensible and financially viable idea. (Even if it is a little outside the box.)
As a CSR project I have written a Childrens book, it is presently being graphically enhanced. The royalties will go to a local (Basildon, Essex) charity.
The Title will be:

Buy a copy it is going to a very good cause...
More on that when it is completed.
Enjoy the weekend
