STEM Racing: Revamped F1 in Schools Challenge Explained for IP Math & Physics Students

Q: What does STEM Racing: Revamped F1 in Schools Challenge Explained for IP Math & Physics Students cover?
A: Same adrenaline, new banner: “F1 in Schools” rebranded to STEM Racing in late 2024.

TL;DR
STEM Racing tasks teams of up to six students to design, analyse, manufacture, and race a CO$_2$-powered scale car down a 20 m track. Under the updated banner, technical regs remain class‑specific; in Pro‑class the minimum car mass is ~50 g. Expect at least three judged CAD iterations. Physics and mathematics from the IP syllabus - Bernoulli pressure maps, Reynolds number estimates, trigonometric lofting, and cost budgeting - show up at every stage.

Registration quick answer (Singapore): F1 in Schools entries are coordinated by national partners; confirm current Singapore instructions and calendars via the global site: https://www.f1inschools.com/
