Meet the Team
Stefano Pellegrino
I’m Stefano Pellegrino, I moved from Italy in 2022 to study at BCIT. I grew up watching F1 and MotoGP which made me instantly interested in joining BCIT Racing once I learned about it. In my first year I enjoyed my time learning about the competition and working on manufacturing, ahead of my second year I got promoted to president where I proceeded to work on establishing the club within faculty and within the competing teams. I now look forward to my 3rd season and final season as president where I hope that the club can climb the competition ranks even higher.
Jonah Ashton
I am a recent graduate of the MANU diploma and I am back to do what I do best, making things!!! I am very old fashioned and I don’t like my computer or how solidworks always crashes. I don’t check discord very often and I swear the onedrive is out to get me. I am the past drivetrain design lead so I love talking about that aswell. I love sharing my passion about the club with new members so please call me or talk to me at a meeting.
