F1 in Schools – 2009 World Championships

The 2009 F1 in Schools World Championships held at the Royal Horticultural Hall and Conference Centre is drawing to a close!

The Redline Racing Team, from Canberra, Australia performed extremely well throughout the competition, taking out the outright quickest car and making it through to the quarter finals of the knock out reaction round, where the cars are triggered by a member of the team, in an Formula One style light guided start.

The team was also assessed on verbal presentation of their design along with marketing materials, industry collaboration, sponsorship and research. The team was also required to produce a team booth and design portfolio as well as an engineering assessment of the car design itself. The team was confident of their performance, despite a few mishaps, such someone who had become lost walking into and interrupting their verbal presentation and a couple of disordered cue-cards.
