Cheshire College e-sports team races into the finals

The e-sports team at Cheshire College has secured a place in the final round of the Formula 1 student racing league.
After a series of intense knockout races, the college team earned a spot in the top ten, where they will compete against nine other colleges and universities from across the UK.
The finals will take place on 29 April 2025, at the Williams F1 factory in Oxfordshire.
This marks a significant milestone for the team, who have been preparing for the occasion using advanced racing simulators and state-of-the-art facilities at the college.
The team consists of six talented students, each bringing their different skills to the table.
While two students will race, the remaining members will focus on key roles such as strategy, planning, and engineering.
E-sports student, Charlie Cope, said: "I am thrilled to be taking part in the competition for a second year in a row and we are really proud to have made it to the finals once again.
"The college has opened my eyes to lots of different careers that I didn't even know existed.
"After college I'm going to pursue competitive e-sports racing at a professional level and will be continuing to study for a degree in e-sports at university."
The upcoming event promises to be a thrilling experience, combining competitive racing with educational opportunities.
Students will have the chance to race in real-time simulations, tour the Williams F1 museum and heritage collection and gain valuable insights into careers within both e-sports and Formula 1.
Aiden Goodwin, Lecturer in e-sports and games development, said: "We are incredibly proud of our student's achievements in the racing league.
"Competing against 60 colleges from the start, the journey has been invaluable, providing our students hands-on learning experiences and the opportunity to apply their skills in both esports and engineering."
The top performers in the competition will have the chance to demonstrate their skills to a wider audience.
