Oliver Valves Ltd is pleased to announce our support of the Pensby Sports College Go Kart Team as they participate in the Greenpower Formula 24 competition.
The competition will see students from across the country competing in a series of races in classroom built electric go carts, culminating in the final at glorious Goodwood on October 18th.
The Oliver Valves sponsored Go Kart ready for the track
The team from Pensby have already hit upon a winning formula beating 12 other schools and colleges to take the Best Club award at the North West Science and Engineering festival at Manchester Museum of Science and Industry in July.
Judges at the Museum of Science and Industry were impressed by the engineering skills and team work displayed by the students in the construction of their competition go kart. Needless to say, the team opting to arrive at the competition by driving the kart through reception, into the lift and up into the exhibition hall must have made a winning impression.
Northwest Science and Engineering Festival Best Club Award
The next step for the college is a four hour endurance event at Aintree Race Course on 22nd September. The race will see six team members taking turns at the wheel in an attempt to secure a place on the grid for the Goodwood final.
All the team at Oliver Valves are rooting for the Pensby Sports College Go Kart Team and we wish them the best of luck.
We’ll post a full race report soon so please remember to check back.

Despite heavy competition from seasoned veterans of the competition, the newcomers from Pensby managed to achieve 19th place with an impressive 32 laps of the course, totalling 46.50 miles!
This is the first time the Pensby Sports College Go Kart Team had entered such a race. The competition was great, but the team’s enthusiasm was even greater. We look forward to seeing future attempts from the team and their kart.
