A TEAM of youngsters are building their very own set of green wheels.
For the next eight weeks Basildon Council's Young Engineers Club is giving 12 youngsters the chance to learn how to build an environmentally friendly electric car at the town's Prospects College.
Once the car is built six of the children will race the vehicle at Ford Dunton race track.
They will go up against teams from other parts of the country.
The race is part of a series being run nationally by Green Power, a company which promotes engineering careers to school children.
