Mackay Christian College students once again took to the road, and the racetrack, for another year of hands-on learning.
Packed and ready to roll, the team set off for race day with their cars proudly displaying stickers from local supporters including Frontline Equipment Maintenance, RMS Performance Engineering, Consolidated Engineering Plastics Products, L&R Contracting, Mackay Christian College, and the Mackay Christian College Trade Training Centre.
The crew arrived at the track around 4:30pm to unload and prepare their vehicles ahead of scrutineering and shakedown runs the following morning. Students were due to arrive by flight the next day to put the cars through their paces, aiming to see if their builds could endure six hours of continuous racing on Friday.
Despite a few challenges on the track and no podium finishes this time around, the experience was a major success for the students, who demonstrated teamwork, technical skills, and perseverance throughout the event.
Their journey included a few pit stops along the way to tighten the cars on the Empire Trailer Hire trailers and refuel their Ezy Mechanical utes in Rockhampton – thanks to their generous sponsors.
The project highlighted the dedication and ingenuity of regional students, as well as the strong local industry partnerships that continue to support real-world learning experiences at Mackay Christian College.
