Delta Racing Triumphs at F1 in Schools Regional Finals

Jack, Year 13, Elijah, Oliver and Joe, Year 10, visited Bath University for the regional finals of F1 in Schools, an international design and engineering competition. The team have been developing their brand ‘Delta Racing’, gaining sponsorship and designing a scale F1 car to meet the criteria to be allowed to race.

Teams were assessed across a number of areas: presentation of their brand, their car design, brand identity at their pit display and, of course, timed track races for the car itself. The competition was judged by professional F1 mechanical engineers. Their car completed the 25m course in 1.447 seconds, only 80/100ths of a second slower than the winning car. Overall they did incredibly well, coming an amazing 5th out of 21 teams in the Development Class.
