GT in Schools
The Sports Car Design Challenge is a class of the F1 in Schools competition with the brief to design and manufacture a compressed air powered model GT sports cars.
The process follows closely the real life process that Engineers in automotive companies such as Jaguar follow, i.e. sketching, modelling, scanning / digitising, analysing, making, testing and racing.
Student teams compete against each other in regional and national championships to determine the best designed and engineered sports car in the UK. It is just like being in a real automotive design and engineering team.
