Formula One Success
On Thursday last week, two teams represented The Earls at Aston University for the F1 in Schools Regional finals. Although we didn’t manage to qualify for the national finals, both teams did really well against tough opposition.
Volt racing, the professional team, finished 5th out of 13 for the fastest car, just 0.07 seconds behind the winner. They also finished in the top 3, from the 37 teams, for their verbal presentation.
EarlSpeed, the development team, finished 4th out of 24 for the fastest car, just 0.067 seconds behind the winner in their category. They finished 12th overall in the combined categories, 0.218 seconds behind the overall winner, beating many professional teams. They also finished in the top 3, from the 37 teams, for the judges choice award. Students were also praised by the judges for the quality of their verbal presentations.
The students really enjoyed the experience and are looking forward to future competitions. Huge thanks to Mr Logan for all his support.
