What a fantastic day we had with great weather, cars and cake, a car park full of sports cars. We would like to say a big THANK YOU to you all for joining us and helping us make it such a great event and enjoyable day, it was nice to see so many Zero’s together in the car park along with a wide variety of other sports cars.

USA Students enjoy a tour at GBS with the team......

Yesterday the GBS team were delighted to welcome 26 USA University Students to GBS for a full factory tour.

The undergraduate university students are enrolled in the the Virginia Tech, Rising Sophomore Abroad Program (RSAP) The students are all studying general engineering. We were contacted earlier in the year to see if we could accommodate them for a factory tour. They are currently in the UK for a summer trip that is part of their spring-semester class designed that introduces students to global engineering and science, emphasizes the importance of cultural competency for engineers and scientists, and focuses on how differences in cultural, social and economic contexts influence engineering and science in practice. 

The tour was split into two groups and led by Richard and Matt which covered all areas of GBS including the workshop, design room, clean assembly room, engineering machine shop, parts and spares store and shop and then back to the showroom where it finished for more questions and answers. All the students enjoyed the visit and were impressed with what the GBS team do and offer.

We are making several tour slots available throughout the year, and this includes a full behind the scenes tour on how the Zero sports cars and products are made. Our tours last from anywhere between one and half hours to two hours , and usually take place on a Saturday morning but a weekday & Evening tour can take place on request if needed.

Click below to see more details on the factory tours that we offer and to book your chance to experience Great British Sports Cars.

Zero Motul Edition can be seen at various events this year.....

Its almost a year since we announced our partnership project with Motul and Motul UK Distributors Witham Motorsport to produce the Zero Motul Edition sports car, which we are delighted will be back with us here at GBS for our next GBS Cars & Coffee event which is happening on Saturday 11th June at GBS that is sponsored by Witham Motorsport and Motul.

Motul and the Witham Motorsport have supplied us with their products for several years and we were excited to work with them on this special project. The Zero is hand built bespoke to your individual specification and the Zero Motul Edition was certainly an example of that, the car that had been spec’d out between ourselves and Motul which has some very nice unique Motul Design features that you will be able to see if you are coming to our Cars & Coffee event.

The Zero Motul Edition is powered by a Ford Duratec engine, specially prepared by Neil Brown Engineering, the company that provides the motive power for the UK FIA Formula 4 championship  - a series where Motul is proud to be the lubricant partner, providing the spec engine oil for all competitors.

The Zero Motul Edition has been seen at many different events since it was revealed for the very first time at the Silverstone Classic Show last year. Here are just a few events where it can be seen over the next few months, The Suffolk Show – 31st May & 1st June, Lincolnshire Show – 22nd & 23rd June and Norfolk Show – 29th & 30th June. Updates on the Motul-Edition GBS Zero can be found on Motul, Witham Motorsport, GBS and related UK Social Media sites too. You can see the full story and build of this very special Zero here.

The Motul Edition Zero will hopefully also be joining us on our Jubilee Zero Run Out that we have planned for Thursday 2nd June. If you would like to join us in your Zero then please find more details here.

Another University of Nottingham student joins the GBS Team for a few months…..

We have been working with The University of Nottingham to offer Postgraduate placements at GBS, and last year we were delighted to welcome Sreeyesh Galla to the GBS Team. Sreeyesh who has now graduated from the University of Nottingham, worked with our marketing team whilst he was with us for his placement.

We were pleased to recently welcome Hugo Stephens to GBS for a placement. Hugo is currently studying MEng Mechanical Engineering at The University of Nottingham and is the Mechanical Lead for the Solar Electric Car being built by the University's Racing Team. With his strong background in CAD/CAM, Hugo is working with the Design and Engineering team to create the first Build Manual for the GBS Zero. We hope that by being able to offer a complete manual, it will make the decision to tackle your own Component Build less daunting, as this is something we have heard from some of our customers could be improved. Additionally, the documentation of a standardised sequence for our Factory Build cars will improve quality and consistency. 

  "I was excited to be given the chance to come to GBS to work on a real-world project, as I felt that it would provide brilliant exposure to the techniques and processes used to produce a commercial sports car. It has been a great environment to learn, and the team have been welcoming and happy to answer my questions. I've enjoyed applying the techniques I've picked up at University to the work I have been doing and have developed a number of new skills along the way. I'd thoroughly recommend a placement at GBS for anyone who would like to gain a different perspective of the automotive industry and find out what it's really like! I would like to thank the Placements Team at the University of Nottingham for their assistance and GBS for the opportunity." Hugo Stephens

 Once Hugo finishes his studies and placement with us, he will be returning to the University of Nottingham Racing Team over the summer to prepare for the iLumen European Solar Challenge at Circuit Zolder, before starting a graduate job in Motorsport in September. 

 We are also looking at offering other University of Nottingham students a Postgraduate placement throughout the year.

Students at the University of Nottingham playing their part here at GBS.....

We recently had a student from the University of Nottingham join us for a few months as an intern on our digital marketing and brand building project. We have been working with The University of Nottingham to offer Postgraduate placements at GBS, and last year we were delighted to welcome Sreeyesh Galla to the GBS Team. Sreeyesh who has now graduated from the university of Nottingham holds a MSc in entrepreneurship, innovation, and management.

With his strong background in design, digital marketing, and creative skills, he has developed valuable content for our twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube media handles. Helped Design T-shirts, posters, flyers, and other such documents for GBS.

Sreeyesh is in here at the factory 3 days a week and will continue to be in till the end of his placement in February. After which he plans to further pursue his career in the field of digital marketing. It has so far been a great experience of having students here at GBS. Not only are they gaining some valuable industry experience and exposure, but they also add creative value to the team here at GBS. This collaboration with the university of Nottingham is a great way to learn those desired skills and we are proud to say that Great British Sports Cars is one of those places where students can learn and grow to their fullest potential.

Few words from Sreeyesh about his placement………

“Firstly, as a car enthusiast I was more than delighted to be offered a placement with Great British sports cars. The learning for me has been vast and continuous in terms of skills, the business knowledge, and automobiles in general. I was very well received by the team here at GBS and that made my experience all the better. I had Two members of the team pick me up and drop me at the train station every day and I could not ask for more. Even during the busy days, they always took time out to teach and explain how things worked in detail. Answered all my questions patiently and that has been a great help to me, someone who is just starting my career. I was given complete creative freedom in creating the content for the social media handles and marketing adverts, which helped me learn through experimentation and creativity. The marketing head at GBS has been a patient teacher and a great guide. This placement has been a great learning experience and of great benefit to me career wise. Cannot wait to come back for the ‘Cars and Coffee’ event and witness a true British car manufacturer show off. Lastly I would like to thank GBS and the university of Nottingham for giving me this lovely opportunity”.

Sreeyesh will also be coming back in March to join us at our GBS Cars & Coffee event which he has been involved in help promoting and designing literature for etc. Visit our event page to see more details about this event.

We are just in the process of offering another University of Nottingham student a Postgraduate placement in our Design and Engineering department and are looking at possibly offering more placement opportunities throughout the year.
