As part of Gemma Lighting's commitment to inspire young people to become engineers, the Portsmouth based manufacturer sponsored Wickham Primary School (WPS) as they took to the racing track at Goodwood for the 2011 Greenpower Gathering of Goblins.
The year 6 students from Wickham Primary spent the previous three months designing and building their energy efficient go kart ready for race day.
Despite the horrible weather conditions, spirits were high and the students got stuck into’ a great day’s racing.

All the children had the opportunity to compete in at least one race from a range of events including a slalom course and a complete lap of the Goodwood motor circuit. It was a fun-filled but long day and the enthusiasm and sportsmanship displayed from all of the children was incredible.
The team built on their earlier successes at Portsmouth’s Mountbatten Sports Centre, to end the racing year with awards for Best body work, Greenest Body work and overall Winner.
Team Captain Shannon Manuel said ‘Thank you to everybody at Gemma Lighting who made this possible, we all had a great time and can’t wait for next year’
