This page is about the MIA School of Race Engineering that is run every year by the Motorsport Industry Association.

The MIA School of Race Engineering is an interactive course which bridges the gap between general Motorsport engineering and becoming the Race Engineers of tomorrow. Taught by current leading Race Engineers in Formula 1, WEC, BTCC and Indycar you will learn the latest technologies and will benefit from their real-world trackside experiences. The MIA School of Race Engineering is held every Spring and Autumn which includes 32 hours of teaching and networking. In addition we host monthly online modules which focus on specific motorsport disciplines, such as Race Strategy, Vehicle Simulation and Data Analysis.
