Being part of this society has been an incredible experience, and I want to give back by ensuring our events are the best they can be. I am passionate about creating a friendly and welcoming environment where everyone feels included, no matter their level of involvement or experience with motorsport.
If elected as Events Coordinator, I will take pride in making sure our events run smoothly and efficiently. I will work hard to ensure that every event is well-organised and enjoyable for all members. I want to help create events that bring people together and make everyone feel welcome.
I take great pride in my organisational skills and will use them to plan and coordinate engaging events that run without issues. Whether it's ensuring clear communication, managing logistics, or adapting to unexpected challenges, I am committed to making sure that every event is as enjoyable and stress-free as possible for both attendees and the committee.
Motorsport is about excitement, passion, and community, and I want to make sure that every society event reflects that spirit. With dedication, organisation, and enthusiasm, I will work to create a fantastic experience for all members.

Hi, I'm Ho Chun, a second-year in Computer Science, and I've been a part of the society since I joined uni. You might know me from TdY, eTdY, Enduros, Kart4Life, Christie Cup, and a bit of BUKC!

When I first joined the society, I was new to all things motorsport - the GIAG was the second time I was ever in a kart. A week prior was my first; I went to a track called Traq in Croydon and immediately fell in love with speed, hence my choice to join the society! Since then, I've been improving steadily, starting in Group 3 in my first year, moving up to Group 2, and now I've worked my way up to chillin with the top guys! (like you!) :D

Now, I want to give back to the community that got me this far. I've got a couple of new ideas in mind, such as karting/racing resources shared to the society, more Sim Racing stuff (a much easier entry point to racing compared to karting), and some fun social ideas! As someone who started from zero and got this far, I understand what it takes to start, and I want to help make this journey easier and more enjoyable for many others!

I hope that I can win your vote. Thank you for your consideration!

Hello fellow petrolheads, I’m Simon Wilkins, a first year Automotive engineering student and I’m ecstatic to be running for events coordinator.

Throughout my first year, Leeds motorsport society has become a second home to me and I’ve had a higher attendance at TDY s than lectures. I have also attended a variety of different socials, where I made friendships and connections that I’ll treasure for life and that is my main motivation in running for committee as I want to keep providing this same safe social space to both current and future students.

The current committee has done an amazing job of building an extremely strong society and I want to help in building the society from this already strong platform. As events coordinator, my core roles will fall in the online space and as I have been a part of, and helped run several online sim racing leagues over the last 6 years I feel well equipped and confident in taking on this role.

My plans if I were to be elected are to increase engagement with E-TDY, by conducting a survey at the beginning of each semester to establish the games that members want included in the championship, I will also publish more detailed results after each round so you can better understand how close you are to the competition. Additionally, I want to introduce an online sim racing championship, the game could once again be voted on to ensure there is enough interest and it is accessible to all. Furthermore, I would like to use the freedom of my role to give back to charity by hosting online endurance events or gameathons!

As part of my role, I will also need to help the events manager in planning events and any other tasks. This will require good team working and communication abilities , which I feel I have developed well across my life in a diverse range of scenarios, from playing football as a kid to working part time throughout my A-levels and additional hobbies like scuba diving, all require great communication and collaboration skills.

In summary, I would be delighted to be your new events coordinator as I would love building on the hard work of the events coordinators of the past as well as bringing new ideas to the table whilst also ensuring the events manager and I build a relationship that allows the both of us to provide the members with the best possible experience. Thankyou for your time.

After an amazing first year part of the society and meeting some great people (who also spend their entire savings on karting), I would love to give back my time and effort into keeping this society running.

Alongside our successful TDY events throughout the year, the e-TDY has become just as popular with members competing against one another to record their fastest lap around each track. e-TDY is only going to grow in popularity as more and more people turn to sim racing in their free time.

The role will also include working closely with the Events manager and support with their duties of organising TDY, GIAG’s, Womens karting and any other events throughout the year. I would continue the very popular F1 watch-alongs which allow society members to socialise and get to know one another through their interest in the sport (and in my case, anyone who supports Mclaren).



What would I bring as Events Coordinator?

✅ Work closely with the Events manager and the wider committee to keep everyone up to date and informed about the events running throughout the year.

✅ Supporting the Events manager in organising events throughout the year especially TDY and F1 watch-alongs.

✅ Ensure feedback is listened to and acted on to improve the experience of everyone involved.

✅ Develop myself personally, especially my communication and team-working skills which are not only vital to the Events Coordinator position but also for any job role in the future.

I'd like to be the Events Coordinator for Leeds Motorsport to increase the usage of simracing in the society. I want to add more special events (Like a Trackmania weekly shorts competition, Live AC, ACC, F1 races, etc...) and gather interest for teams to potentially participate in online endurance races.
