    Irish team crowned F1 in Schools champions

    The Koni Kats team from David’s Secondary School in Greystones, County Wicklow took the top honours at the fifth F1 in Schools technology challenge world championships held in London on Thursday. The global challenge sees school children, aged 11 to 19, use CAD/CAM software to design, build and test a model balsa wood Formula One car of the future.

    At a glittering awards ceremony attended by McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton and a host of VIP guests, the talented students from Ireland were presented with the Bernie Ecclestone World Championship Trophy and coveted Automotive and Motorsport Engineering scholarships to City University London. They will also be given an exclusive tour of the McLaren Technology Centre on Friday.

    Congratulations to all involved :cool:

    I work there, and also went on the tour when I was a kid. Its nothing special once you see it when your all growed up, actually ruins your memory.
