After almost one year after our first competition, our F24 Greenpower car is ready to race again! Our students from the Third and Fourth Form have managed to disassemble and assemble our C1 car throughout the last year, adding a couple of new looks, including a face on the nose of the car and aero wheel covers.

This week, the pupils tested the car in the playground, enjoying some laps on the track, as well as monitoring both the car and drivers' performances.

Unfortunately, we have not been able to attend to any of this year’s competitions due to technical issues, but we are all looking forward to the 2026 season where we hope to beat last year's 10th place.

We would like to thank our sponsors for this year: Mr Hammond and CIBRA Capital for their generous contribution which has allowed us to buy materials and will pay for the transport to next year's races; and to Formbend Limited which manufactured, free of charge, the rear rollbar (a key part which we could not make inhouse) for our scratch car which sixth form students are designing and building.
