Velocity 99 is designed to populate the paddock with a diverse team of interns and provide inclusive opportunities for aspiring engineers, technicians, statisticians, mechanics, mathematicians, marketers, leaders, team managers, and drivers. By competing in Velocity 99’s “24 Hour STEM Competition,” students are given the opportunity to compete for a paid internship with a professional race team that serves as a mentor group to the interns each season; the students work side-by-side with the team to nurture their skills, and encourage them to pursue their dreams.
