This summer, George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering alumnus A.J. Milner, ME 2015, traveled to Le Mans, France, as part of the Bosch Motorsport on-site support team for the 94th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, one of the world's most iconic endurance races.

Shortly after returning home, he was back in France to participate in the first fire-up of Ford's new hypercar at Oreca's facility in Provence. Ford featured the milestone in a video documenting the project, with Milner making a brief appearance as part of the team supporting the effort.

Milner works in Bosch's Motorsport division, where he helps supply and support hybrid systems for endurance car racing teams, including Cadillac, BMW, Porsche, Alpine, Hyundai/Genesis, Acura, and, beginning next year, McLaren and Ford. His role takes him to endurance races around the world, providing on-site technical support for teams competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.
