F1 in Schools World Finals 2015

From the 13th to 16th September, AeroPhoenix 2.0 which consists of 4 members - Jillian, Allen, Jeremy and Ezekiel - participated in the F1 in Schools World Finals 2015 held at Resorts World Sentosa. This competition is held annually in different countries. During the competition, we went through several intensive judging sessions such as the Verbal Presentation, Enterprise Judging, Engineering & Car Scrutineering Judging and the Car Races. For this competition we came up with several different new cutting-edge innovations such as the movable front aerofoil which is the first of its kind in the F1 in Schools Competition history!

We thought that the one of the highlights of the competition was the visit to the F1 Pit Lanes where we were able to get up close and personal with the actual F1 cars up close. This was possible because we befriended the marketing manager from Manor Racing during the gala night dinner. Many drivers and members from other F1 teams also attended the dinner and we had the opportunity to interact with them.

 

As a team, we learnt many new things from our foreign competitors and also learnt from our mistakes. Overall it was a really great experience and we hope to go to the World Finals again!
