Australia crowned F1 in Schools champion

 

Horizon, a team of students from Brighton Secondary School, Adelaide, were crowned F1 in Schools World Champions 2018 at the 14th F1 in Schools World Finals, held this year at Resorts World Sentosa, Singapore.

Irish team, CCJ Autovinco from St Brigid’s College, Loughrea, County Galway were runners-up with Perspective, a US team representing Palmetto High School, from Bradenton, Florida in third place.

Horizon Team Manager,  James Gurney, said of winning: “We’re feeling on top of the world. For some of us it’s been three or four years working on this, but we’ve had late nights and an amazing journey. The engineering behind our car was very precise and we were constantly improving and refining it to make the best product possible. We were perfectionists, making sure nothing was half hearted, the effort and dedication we put in, were the key for us. The experience will be something we’ll hold for the rest of our lives.”
