The Motorsport Experience: From Indy to the Carolinas is the name of an exciting new college course being offered jointly by IUPUI and Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) in North Carolina. This unique two-week course is offered to students of both universities.
Indianapolis and Winston-Salem are without a doubt the two centers of the racing world so teaming up with WSSU to provide students and an intense, hands-on approach to the fast paced world of motorsports is a great opportunity for our students and theirs, stated Peter Hylton, director of IUPUIs Motorsports program. This is without a doubt one of the most unique college courses offered anywhere, he added.

From the management perspective, topics of study will include historical background of racing; an examination of the different venues available both in the United States and throughout the world; career opportunities in motorsport; the role of marketing
The technical aspect of the course will involve Safety Technology as applied to the driver, the vehicle and the track, as well as aspects of Performance Technology including aerodynamics, chassis dynamics and data acquisition.
Guest lecturers from different aspects of the industry will discuss their responsibilities and how they were able to successfully pursue a career within motorsport. The course will include lectures, guest speakers, off-campus trips, outside readings, assignments, and cognitive tests.
