Nottingham student joins Infiniti Red Bull Racing

24 year old Daniel, originally from Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, beat out nine other finalists in the European heat of Infiniti’s Performance Engineering Academy 2015. He will now move to Milton Keynes to spend the next year working with the four-time World Championship winning team, as well as alongside Infiniti Motor Company.

“Infiniti is a luxury car company with ties to the Red Bull racing team at the cutting edge of automotive technology development, such as hybrids, collision avoidance systems and self-driving cars,” said Daniel.

“It’s an amazing brand and team to work for and will without doubt be a brilliant experience. It will be a tough challenge but I can’t wait to start now and show them what I’m made of!”

Daniel was one of thousands of students to register an interest in this year’s programme, which began all the way back in March. The process involved a series of video and face-to-face interviews, after which 10 finalists from each global region were selected to attend a regional assessment day. A panel of judges from Infiniti and Infiniti Red Bull Racing then made the final call.
