The Foundation's CEO, Tim Bradshaw, is competing in the Malle Moto class of the Africa Eco Race at the end of the year it is a natural fit to form a partnership with the governing body of motorcycle sport in Scotland. As part of sport Scotland the SACU have a fantastic network and reach in the community.
The emphasis on the partnership is very much based around using the rally bike to attract those young people who otherwise might not consider STEM subjects as something that was relevant to them.
“It turns out that if you want to race in a rally raid you need to really understand the science of both your body and the bike. Critical to making check points and getting to the bivouac each day is the ability to perform mental arithmetic whilst under pressure”
