“The Greenpower ‘Gathering of Goblins’ is a fantastic event that aims to fire young people’s imagination and bring STEM subjects to life through the excitement of motorsport. We’ve supported teams from The March CE Primary School over many years, with children working alongside our Designers and Apprentices to design and build some truly amazing racing cars. For us, this is both a link to our heritage – the marque first established its reputation as ‘the best car in the world’ through motor trials and racing – and a vital investment in the long-term future of engineering and manufacturing in the UK. We wish the teams every success.”
– Andrew Ball, Head of Corporate Relations & Heritage, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has reaffirmed its commitment by partnering again with The March CE Primary School for this year’s Greenpower ‘Gathering of Goblins’, an esteemed event where schoolchildren design, build, and race electric-powered cars.
