Red Barons Racing – F1 in Schools 2025

F1 in Schools with Red Barons Racing

What is Red Barons Racing?

Red Barons Racing is a passionate and driven team of four talented students from Al Zuhour Private School, proudly representing our school in the internationally acclaimed F1 in Schools competition. Fueled by curiosity, creativity, and a shared commitment to excellence, we are on a mission to engineer success both on and off the track. As a close-knit team, we thrive on collaboration, problem-solving, and the pursuit of innovative ideas in the dynamic world of STEM and motorsport.

Our journey is not just about building the fastest car—it’s about becoming leaders, creators, and thinkers. With every challenge, we grow stronger, more united, and more determined to represent our school and sponsors at the national and international levels.

What is F1 in Schools?

F1 in Schools is where science, technology, engineering, and mathematics meet the thrill of motorsport. Students from all over the world compete by designing, building, and racing miniature Formula 1-style cars powered by CO₂ cartridges. But the challenge doesn’t stop at engineering. Teams must also develop a brand, manage budgets, present to judges, and secure sponsorships—bringing real-world business skills into the classroom.

The program is deeply connected with Formula 1, offering students a once-in-a-lifetime chance to step into the world of racing innovation. For sponsors, it’s a unique platform for brand visibility across schools, communities, and future industry leaders. It's a win-win experience of education, exposure, and excellence.

Our Journey

As first-time competitors in the 2024–25 season, Red Barons Racing is ready to make a bold entrance into the high-speed world of F1 in Schools. With no previous experience but limitless ambition, we are pushing ourselves to meet the highest standards of innovation, design, and teamwork.

Every day is a race against time, a test of our creativity and discipline. From our first sketches to the final manufacturing process, we've embraced every opportunity to grow and adapt. Our vision is to create a car that reflects our identity—bold, aerodynamic, and engineered for performance—while building a team culture based on respect, inclusion, and shared goals.

Engineering an F1 in Schools Car

Designing an F1 in Schools car is a thrilling, multi-step process that brings out the engineer, artist, and strategist in each of us. Here's how Red Barons Racing approaches it:

Setting the Budget 🧾

Our journey begins with a smart financial plan, allowing us to manage resources and invest wisely in design, production, and marketing.

Resource Preparation 🧰

With software like Fusion 360 and simulation tools like CFD, we analyze aerodynamics, optimize components, and prepare for real-world testing.

Creative Design Process 🎨

We follow a full design cycle—brainstorming, sketching, prototyping, testing, and refining every part of the car until it meets our performance goals.

Regulation Check ✅

Our designs are constantly checked against competition regulations to ensure full compliance without sacrificing innovation.

Component Manufacturing 🛠️

Using CNC machining and 3D printing, we bring our ideas to life—wings, wheel systems, body shapes—every part crafted with precision.

Assembly 🔧

We assemble the car with extreme care, testing each connection and alignment to ensure maximum performance on race day.

Finishing Touches & Painting 🎨

After smoothing the surface, we apply colors and branding that represent Red Barons Racing. Each layer reflects our identity and pride.

Final Integration 🏁

With everything in place, our car is race-ready—built not just for speed, but for excellence in design, compliance, and teamwork.
