Are You Up to the Challenge?

 

To build and race a 1/ 8 scale internal combustion engined car, controlled with radio control.
The project will involve chassis, suspension, body, power train and aerodynamic design.
Good all round teamwork will need to be coupled with the skills of an expert driver.
School teams to work with a link high technology, engineering or motor sport company.
To use Opto Electronic Systems for data capture and telemetry.

 

Teams are judged in the following categories:

Engineering
Driving
Teamwork

 

WHY?

The United Kingdom's motor sport and specialist motor industry is world class.
However, few young people choose engineering as a career path at secondary school.
Few secondary schools offer a 'real world' engineering curriculum.
Therefore, higher education and industry suffer from a lack of suitable students entering applied engineering.
