Supported by Formula 1, teams were challenged to optimise aerodynamic performance and comply with detailed technical regulations, mirroring real FIA scrutineering processes.
Students also had the opportunity to meet Formula 1 industry professionals, including Tom Garfield-Bennet, Victoria College alumnus and Engineering Coordination Team Lead at Oracle Red Bull Racing and Pascal Dumont, Elizabeth College alumnus and Reliability Engineer at McLaren Racing.
In addition to engineering their cars, students presented wider project work, including sponsorship initiatives, Project Management frameworks, brand identity development, and custom-built pit display stands.
