The first essay competition has closed and all the essays are in! We have read your submissions, discussed them, and then read them again, trying to come up with a winner. It was a tough choice!

Well done to Edouard Gout (France) and Karin Gutmann (Germany) for two fantastic essays on their trip to Silverstone Race Track! Silverstone is Britain’s most famous racetrack, hosting Formula One Grand Prix. No trip to Silverstone would be complete without photos posing in sports cars, as you can see from the pictures!
