Hi! I’m an Aerospace Engineering student ambassador at Southampton. Great to hear you’re already doing STEM Racing that’s one of the best super curriculars you can have for F1/automotive engineering.
If you want a few more ideas, here are the strongest ones:
You don’t need loads, just a couple of activities you can reflect on in your personal statement. You’re already off to a great start!

If you want a few more ideas, here are the strongest ones:
•
MOOCs like “Inside the Mind of an F1 Engineer” (FutureLearn) or basic aerodynamics/thermo on Coursera/MIT OCW.
•
Small personal projects, e.g. RC car design, simple aero testing, CAD (Fusion 360, Blender is free).
•
Reading such as How to Build a Car by Adrian Newey or articles from Racecar Engineering.
•
Competitions like VEX Robotics or Airbus Glider Challenge if available at your school.
Kind regards
