Your team(s) should now be concentrating on getting their five page plan together – this will help teams to research and prepare for the challenge ahead and is really your way of selling your team! For teams to get ideas they should view the sample plan available on www.F1inSchools.ie (please remember it is only a basic sample). It is not compulsory to have the teams designs in 3D CAD in the five page plan – but obviously you get more marks if you can demonstrate knowledge of the software. The sample plan is available to download here.
Have you downloaded the relevant partfiles? These contain a 3D CAD drawing of the balsa wood block from which your car would be manufactured should you get through to the Regional finals. There are three versions of the file available on the website, one compatible with Solid Works, Solid Edge and and IGES format. This is a good place to start and the team can then remove pieces from the 3D car design to make their individual car. These files (Part files) are available to download from www.F1inSchools.ie on the Resources page.
Remember even in your Qualifying round plan you should take into account the specifications of the car e.g. length of car. All the specifications are available in the Rules and Regulations documents for both types of car (D-Type and R-Type). These documents can be downloaded from our website www.F1inSchools.ie again, by going to the ‘Resources’ tab. In this document you will also see the marking scheme for the competition and Qualifying round and further information on the Qualifying Round.
