Twenty teams from the North West went to the tournament. The children designed and built their model themselves during the after-school club. Yesterday, they used a CO2 cartridge to propel their racing car along a 20-metre track in under one and a half seconds. We were in the top three teams of the judge’s favourites. However, the top two qualified for the grand final in Rotherham. We had a fantastic day and the children were given the opportunity to drive a formula 1 car in a simulator.
