For this competition our task is to design and make a miniature F1 car propelled by a CO2 canister. The aim of our design is to race as fast as possible down the 20m Forrmula 1 in schools track.
We will be judged on the speed of our car, reaction time, portfolio, presentation and our team identity.
We will be competitng in the North East Regional Finals in March 2017 at Nissan in Sunderland. If we succeed in the Regional Event we will progress to the National.
This year we are trying harder than ever to reach the highest, most competetive stage - The World Finals in Abu Dhabi where teams of young people all over the world travel to compete.
