F1 in Schools Regional Finals

The F1 in Schools Year 7 Habs boys and Year 8 Habs girls Entry Class teams went to the Regional Finals at Harlow College. They raced their miniature racing cars, made presentations to the judges and had their engineering portfolios assessed.

This was the teams’ first ever F1 in Schools event so they picked up a lot of ideas and tips from the older teams on how to progress through to the next stages of the competition.

Congratulations to team Thrust Engineering for gaining the highest score in the Entry Class division and winning the Entry Class Regional Champions Award. Their prize is to be VIP guests at the National Finals at the Bristol Aerospace Museum in April. They will get a chance to race their car and meet with the professional F1 in Schools teams under the wings of the Concorde.

Thrust Engineering also gained the award for Best Engineered Car. This was for making effective use of Computational Fluid Dynamics and Computer Aided Design to develop their car.

Team Vortex picked up the Entry Class: Future Stars Award which means the judges felt they have the most potential when moving into the higher level classes.

Very well done to Team Peregrine for getting the Star Quality: Judges Award. I was lucky to be able to watch their confident verbal presentation which really impressed the judges.

The next step for all teams is to re-form in the Summer Term and enter into the Development Class competition in order to gain access to the National Finals and then to form a Professional Class team in order to enter the World Championships.

The winning team of the World Championships will gain scholarships to study Engineering at UCL.

The teams:

Thrust Engineering	Isaac, Jack, Krish and Yun Fei
Peregrine	Evan, Kai, Seb, Rian, Dan and Ore
Vortex	Yuhki, Neerva, Rhys, Zishaan, Thomas, Ishan, Shaahil and Neev
Velocity	Thalia, Nicole, Sofia and Alexia
