With the unfortunate continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic, the next F1 in Schools World Finals will be required to be a COVID-safe virtual event and we will be releasing an additional document to support the Competition Regulations. The vast majority of the competition rules and processes stated in the Competition Regulations will stand, with a small number of relevant changes or additions to allow teams to compete virtually in what will be a World Finals like no other. This additional document will be issued to In Country Coordinators and available below to download in due course, so please check regularly for updates. | ||||
Project Management Guide
|
In 2019, F1 in Schools partnered with the Project Management Institute Educational Foundation (PMIEF) and together we have developed the F1 in Schools Project Management guide. This document is intended to give teams an understanding of the fundamental principles of Project Management and how to use these to deliver their F1 in Schools entry.
To credit the Project Management skills and processes used by teams, the World Finals 2020/21 Competition Regulations contain a new ‘Project Management’ scorecard. It is very important that teams carefully read this new section and ensure their Project Management methodology and processes are evidenced clearly, as per the new scorecard. The F1 in Schools Project Management guide can be downloaded HERE. | |||
Proportional Penalties
|
These are penalties that increase as the margin of failure increases. Basically, these prevent any team from taking a big points advantage from racing, by significantly breaking any of the Technical Regulations. If you see the PP+ symbol, this means a proportional penalty will be applied to any failure, which is explained on page 13 of the 2020 Technical Regulations.
