DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES?

What's it all about?

You are a Formula 1® team commissioned to design, construct and race the fastest Formula 1® Car of the Future, powered by a compressed air cylinder.

9 to 19 year old students compete regionally and nationally, with the best teams winning a place at the F1 in Schools World Finals

Process

Design - Analyse - Make - Test - Race
Students use 3D CAD Software to design their car, analyse it using CFD software, make it using Computer Aided Manufacture software and test their aerodynamics using wind and smoke tunnels. When ready they race their cars in the official F1 in schools track

Competing

The competition features verbal presentations, portfolio, pit display, marketing and engineering judging sessions, as well as the intense pressure of the 20 metre F1 in Schools track racing.
