Team Hyperdrive visited the Innovation Centre in

Rainham for this year’s London and South East

regional F1 in school final. This year the challenge was even greater

than last year as we could no longer enter at the Rookie level, we were

now entering the development class and competing against even

more teams. We set off for the big race day with big hopes (and paint

still drying on the car!). Hyperdrive had put a great deal of time and

energy in the year leading up to this point and our sights were firmly

set on top spot to make it to the national finals at Silverstone. The

team performed extremely well in the presentation and blew away the

judges with their technical knowledge and research in designing the

car. Aaliaan Khan was complimented on his understanding of Bernoulli

and Navier - Stokes equations when interviewed by the panel of

engineers. This helped the team pick up the award for best research

and development across all competitors on the day. Our hopes were

dampened somewhat by the front wheels jamming slightly which

added fractions of a second onto our race time which at this level

makes all the difference. Alas, we picked up 2nd place overall, we are

confident moving forwards that it will be third time lucky for

Hyperdrive and so the team plan to take to the races one last time to

try and unlock the true potential of our latest design which we believe

when fully realised could take us all the way to the Global finals. We

are now looking for sponsors to help us acquire a 20 meter test track,

if you are interested in a sponsorship deal to help us with this please

contact Mr Fortt: lfortt@lpsb.org.uk.
