Whats the challenge all about?
The Formula One Technology Challenge in Malaysia is a competition, open to all Form 4 students to design and manufacture CO2 powered model racing cars. Student teams will compete against each other in national and international championships to determine the best engineered and fastest car, in individual countries and ultimately, to compete for the Best Engineered and Fastest Car in the World! Each country running the the Formula One Technology Challenge has a designated in country co-ordinator who are responsible for providing information, organising team entries and regional finals. The National Champion will be sent to compete to the International Championship representing Malaysia.
Why was the challenge introduced?
Engineering is a vital part of the modern world today and with CAD/CAM, CNC and Virtual Reality Systems being common place in the manufacturing industry, it is important that designers and engineers of the future are familiar with this technology.
In the long term it is hoped to address the shortage of engineers.
Primarily, the International Formula One Technology Challenge provides students with an ideal opportunity to experience the very latest developments in manufacturing technology.
