Unity Racing is an F1 in Schools team based at Scarborough UTC. We recently competed at the 2024 Lenovo F1 in Schools National Final where we placed 2nd and came out English Champions. We also qualified for the 2024 Aramco F1 in Schools World Finals in Saudi Arabia which occurs from the 22nd November to 28th November. We are currently trying to raise around £30,000+ to be able to compete this accounts for: Uniforms, Entrance Fees, Car Manufacturing costs, Flights, Hotels and other additional costs.
F1 in Schools is an international STEM competition for secondary school students (aged 11–19), in which groups of 3–6 students have to design and manufacture a miniature F1 car using CAD/CAM and CAE design tools. The cars are powered by CO2 cartridges and are attached to a track by a nylon wire. They are timed from the moment they are launched to when they pass the finish line by a computer. At the World Finals event we will be representing England.
