First of all, remember that you need to be between 9 and 19 years old! Now, let's understand the competition:
KNOWLEDGE it's never too much, especially when it comes to something that can take you far (making you develop personally, and professionally and also mentioning the possibility of an international championship).

You can access what it involves in the Understand the Project page, now let’s understand what it is about:
BASIC STEPS
BASIC STEPS
You are part of a Formula 1 ® team hired to design, build, and race with the fastest Formula 1 ® car of the future, powered by compressed air cylinders.
Form a team - form a team of 3 to 6 people, create a name, and decide on roles: Team Manager, Manufacturing Engineer, Marketing Manager, Design Engineer, Graphic Designer, and Resource Manager. Now sign up on the F1 in Schools website.
Business and Sponsorships- Plan and prepare a business plan, develop a budget, and seek sponsors. Teams are encouraged to collaborate with industry and create commercial links.
Design- Using AutoCAD 3D (Computer Aided Design) software, design an F1 car of the future according to the specifications defined by the technical regulations.
Analyze- Aerodynamics is proven for drag coefficient in a virtual wind tunnel using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Software.
Manufacturing- Using 3D CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) software, the team evaluates the most efficient machining strategy to manufacture the car.
Test- Aerodynamics are tested using software that simulates a virtual wind tunnel to determine the best prototype.
Pit Display- Set up an informative display showing your work at all stages of the project as required by the competition regulations. Think about your team's identity.
Technical Checks- Cars are subject to scrutiny where judges examine all dimensions to check whether they comply with rules and regulations.
Engineering Judging- Judges question teams about how their cars were manufactured and why specific designs were chosen.
Verbal Presentation- Prepare a presentation for the judges covering all the innovative aspects your team has produced. This will be completed within a defined time frame.
Race- Time to compete and test the car you designed, hoping it will be a fast, aerodynamic car that follows technical regulations.
