Imagine building a 1/20th-scale F1 racing car capable of travelling at over 110km/hr – using advanced 3D design software, automated manufacturing technology. It may sound like a new hi-tech company is opening for business, but it is the latest undertaking of a group of students from Hazelwood College in Dromcollogher. Two teams representing the school have recently qualified for the regional finals by submitting their plans for a scale F1 race car. They now have just 3 months to design, test and build their cars before racing against other teams from around the country. With cars travelling at speeds exceeding 110Km/hr the competition is sure to be tight.
F1 in Schools is a unique technology challenge that enables second-level students to get their hands on the latest technology from the worlds of engineering and manufacturing, and with much emphasis in the competition being placed on design, public relations and over-all business plan, the teams need to be expert in many diverse areas. The first area, and probably one of the toughest, is the selling of advertising space on the cars and upcoming websites, so if any companies out there wish to get involved, you can contact the teams through the school, just ask for Thor Racing or the Hazelwood Hellracers
