Elizabeth Maclennan, currently a Project Manager at McMurtry Automotive, is a recent graduate from the University of Bath and formerly a student at Portsmouth High School.
While studying for a Masters degree in Integrated Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Elizabeth was Team Leader for Team Bath Racing Electric, the electric Formula Student team from the University of Bath. The team, comprising 50 engineering undergraduate students, designs, builds and races a new electric car every year competing in the prestigious Formula Student UK event held each July at Silverstone Circuit.
