The team consists of six talented students, each bringing their different skills to the table.

Level 3 Esports student, Charlie Cope, said: "I am thrilled to be taking part in the competition for a second year in a row, and we are really proud to have made it to the finals once again.

"The college has opened my eyes to lots of different careers that I didn't even know existed.

"After college I am going to pursue competitive esports racing at a professional level and will be continuing to study for a degree in Esports at university."

The upcoming event promises to be a thrilling experience, combining competitive racing with educational opportunities.

Students will have the chance to race in real-time simulations, tour the Williams F1 museum and heritage collection, and gain valuable insights into careers within both esports and Formula 1.
