Welcome to the East Midlands Automobile Centre.
The East Midlands region has a strong tradition for excellence in all areas of Engineering, and Automobile Engineering is no exception.
The region is home to leading companies in automotive research, design and production. We also have some fine academic institutions providing a high level of education and training for students aspiring to a career in this exciting and dynamic field.
The East Midlands Centre is committed to bringing you a varied and interesting programme of events covering a range of topics. We aim to provide a good balance of entertaining topics combined with some fascinating scientific subjects.

The BLOODHOUND SSC Engineering Adventure team is building a car
that has been designed to achieve 1,050mph (1,600kph) and improve
the current record by 30%. The presentation will outline the aims of the
programme and why its success is important to the future of UK science
and engineering.
This presentation will cover the background and aims of BLOODHOUND
SSC Project, including its education programme, an introduction to the
World Land Speed Record and the rules governing the ultimate car speed
record and the research and development conducted to date. It will give
a unique insight into the team and their roles and the latest information
