Join the school
FREE online sessions to learn about the cutting edge engineering behind PERRINN 424Learn motorsport engineering with Nico Perrin, designer of the 424 electric hypercar.
The 424 School is here to help engineering students and professional engineers learn how 424 has been designed and optimised to become the fastest electric hypercar in the world. Modules are delivered by Nico (career details here).
The School provides valuable knowledge for anyone who wants to get to the next level in their engineering career.
Modules are delivered as online sessions. We aim to provide a continuous learning experience through the year. Dates and times will be proposed and adjusted to fit everyone's agenda.
If you are interested in joining the School, it is simple and FREE, make sure you join the PERRINN WhatsApp community and the dedicated group. It is free for anyone to attend our sessions.
Modules available
Each module is delivered as a 2 hours online session. The session is interactive and organised this way:
Context of the module in the 424 project.
Live demos using 424 material, modelling tools, test data and results.
Questions and answers from all participants.
