The F1 in Primary Schools is a competition for primary schools which requires pupils work in teams of six to design and manufacture CO2 powered model racing cars which are raced on a 25 metre track. The first stage is to design and produce a clay model of their car, from which Sentinus manufactures a balsa wood model. The model is returned to the school for sanding, painting and finishing, including the fitting of axles and wheels, painting and branding. Teams develop a design portfolio, visual display and verbal presentation in preparation for the Northern Regional Final.
