INTRODUCTION
This assignment assesses the following Learning Outcomes of this module:

ASSIGNMENT BRIEF
Throughout your course you are learning about the various different business aspects of how a motorsport team operates. The objective of this assignment is to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of how all of these functions come together to form a cohesive motorsport business.
You will produce an operations manual for a professional level motorsport business, detailing how operations are managed for a testing event.
REQUIRED
You should choose a hypothetical professional motorsport business of your own. The professional business will be full time employed in competition at a national or international level, e.g. British Touring Car Championship, World Rally Championship, British Rally Championship, British GT, FIA GT or European Le Mans.
– You will produce a detailed testing operations manual covering the entire duration of testing from initial planning, through the actual test to post-test evaluation.
– The manual will encompass the entire scope of testing operations including a summary of the team in terms of: management structure, roles and responsibilities, championships/events contested, car(s) used, procedures, choice of equipment, involvement and management of sponsors and an outline budget.
– The manual should include management strategies for unplanned changes and issues arising during vehicle testing such as accidents, failure of components or vehicle performance targets.
The report must not be a simple statement of recommendations. The report MUST indicate the options considered, and the reasons for choosing this option. All decisions should be supported by researched and properly referenced material. The purpose of the report is to demonstrate your ability to analyse and make decisions based upon information, not your ability to present knowledge.
