F1 in Schools

  • Linlithgow Academy has been actively involved with F1 in Schools for the past 3 years.  In out first year we sent Team AcceleRace to the world finals in Singapore where they had the 8th fastest car, 0.047s off of the fastest time.  Since then the event has grown and we have invited our primary schools to participate in the F1 in Primary Schools challenge.  Linlithgow Academy’s teams have funded the Primary School challenge at our feeder schools with massive P7 engagement.
  • This year saw Linlithgow Academy host the Scottish Regional Finals of F1 in Schools.  The biggest ever Scottish event with 33 teams.  Our Professional Class team (Genesis) and Development Class team (Enhance Racing by McL&H) are both Scottish Regional Champions and will compete at the virtual UK finals in July for a place at the 2020 F1 in Schools World Finals.  Our Entry Class team (Aquila) won best verbal presentation overall.
  • Sponsorship is available for Genesis and Enhance by McL&H.  Contact david.marshall@westlothian.org.uk or the teams through instagram https://www.instagram.com/genesis.2019/
