 The Challenge

Imagine building a 1/20th-scale F1 racing car capable of traveling at over 110km/h using advanced 3D design software, automated manufacturing technology ... and some ideas from you and your team members.

F1 in Schools™ is a unique technology challenge that enables students to get their hands on the latest technology from the worlds of engineering and manufacturing.

Here are the five main steps:



1. Design

Team members use CAD software to develop their ideas and model them in 3D.

2. Analyse

Virtual Wind Tunnel software predicts the effects of drag and lift on the car design.

3. Build

CAM software and a CNC system converts the car design into a physical car.


4. Test

Wind and/or smoke tunnels used to test and improve the car's performance.

5. Race

Display portfolio. Make presentation and race F1 car at 110 km/h (or faster).
