TAFE motorsport course mooted for Mount Panorama
The Western Institute of TAFE is pushing ahead with plans to establish the first motorsport training course in NSW.
The first intake of 15 students is set to begin the 18 week course in July this year.
The head automotive teacher, Steve Evans, says the Bathurst council has indicated it will allow the course to be run at Mount Panorama, but the agreement is yet to be finalised.
He says the course will equip students with the skills necessary to work in the pits of major racing events.
"We're flat out at the moment, we're planning to start training in July," he said.
"We've got a lot of work to do to develop the program and to advertise and publicise the event and hopefully we'll get enough candidates which I have no doubts about.
"There'll be students coming out of the woodwork."
Mr Evans says if the council agrees to allow classes to be held at the Mount, it will be a major drawcard for students across the state and overseas.
"It'll cover all aspects of motorsports," he said.
"There'll be pit lane work, right to the area of setting up the pit area as well as the repair side of the industry where they are actually removing and replacing components, rebuilding components, servicing the vehicle while it is not at the race meeting."
