Exploring F1 in Schools

What is F1 in Schools?

F1 in Schools is an innovative educational initiative that immerses high school students in the exciting world of Formula 1. Through this program, students form teams to design, manufacture, and compete with mini Formula 1 racing cars powered by CO₂.

The F1 in Schools challenge is a thrilling journey where teams deploy CAD/CAM software to collaborate, design, analyze, manufacture, and race miniature compressed air-powered cars. This global platform not only promotes Formula 1 but also nurtures skills in leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, and project management.
