SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): A record number of more than 400 youth from 26 countries took part in the F1 in Schools World Finals at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) from Sept 10 to 13, in the lead-up to the F1 Singapore Grand Prix that begins on Friday (Sept 15).
Students formed teams to design and manufacture miniature F1 cars, then race them along a 20m track. The top prize – which included the F1 in Schools World Champions trophy as well as university scholarships – went to Recoil Racing, comprising six 16- to 18-year-old students from Marie-Therese-Gymnasium in Erlangen, Germany.Participants needed to learn about physics and aerodynamics to design and manufacture their miniature race cars.
He told The Straits Times: “It is an application of various subject areas. The fastest or best-engineered car does not win it. There are many other aspects like presentation skills and budgeting.” “We want to mentor the next generation of XCLerate Racing team members and pass on all of our knowledge. Then they will have the best chance and not start off from zero, but with some sort of foundation,” said David Fiore Lopez, 16, XCLerate Racing’s team leader and engineer.
During the 2016 World Finals in Texas, she was selected to be a member of the Williams F1 Engineering Academy, and has since been mentored by various members of the Williams Formula One racing team workforce. Athena Racing from Greece, the only all-female team to take part in the competition, told ST that they joined the competition to promote women in STEM .
