By Stephen Mizelas & Sarah GwynneIn 2011, the brand McLaren, famous for Formula 1 racing, returned to building road supercars. The company now produces luxury vehicles at its factories in Woking and Rotherham. The BBC's We Are England film-makers have been to find out what it takes to build a supercar and speak to some of the men and increasing number of women working in the industry.
It was only when she was 18 that Holly understood what it was to be an engineer, "I had heard there was a particular female that had won as part of a Le Mans team as a race engineer. It wasn't until then, I thought 'that's cool, is that an engineer? I want to be that." Claire works preparing the carbon fibre cut-outs for the moulding machine, to create the car's chassis. She uses a stacking iron that heats up to 170C to bind parts of the frame together.
Shihui Liu is a principal engineer in electric drive controls and is part of the team that designs the control systems inside the cars.
