ARTICLE C1 – DEFINITIONS
C1.1 World Finals Event

The World Finals event is managed by F1® in Schools and is held over several days to include
various programmed social and competition activities. The event aims to provide all participants
with an educational and personal development ‘Experience of a Lifetime’. Specifically, the
competition aims to determine the World Champions of F1® in Schools according to the 2023 F1
in Schools World Finals Technical and Competition regulations.
C1.2 F1® in Schools In-Country Co-ordinator (ICC)

Person/s and/or an organisation approved by F1 in Schools to manage and co-ordinate F1 in
Schools - The Formula 1® STEM Challenge within a specified country or region of the world.
C1.3 Parc fermé

A secure area where all submitted cars and components are held to prevent unauthorised handling,
but to allow technical inspections to be conducted by the Judges. (Literal meaning in French of
‘closed park’).
C1.4 Competition Programme

The competition programme will detail the schedule of judging activities for all teams.
C1.5 World Finals terms and conditions for entry

This is a document issued by F1 in Schools which constitutes an agreement between F1 in Schools,
ICC’s and supervising teachers regarding participation by teams in the World Finals event.
C1.6 Key performance indicators (KPI’s)

These are portions of text that feature on the scorecards within a corresponding points range. The
KPI’s describe the type of evidence the Judges will be looking for in order to score the team
appropriately.
C1.7 Car race time value

A ‘car race time’ value is the actual time taken for a F1 in Schools car to travel the track from start
to finish, measured from the instant the start box fires to when the car breaks the finish line timing
beam. In the case of reaction races, the ‘car race time’ value is calculated as the ‘total race time’
value displayed on the electronic start gate minus the ‘reaction time’ value displayed for that race.
C1.8 Total race time value

The ‘total race time’ value is displayed in the total time field on the electronic start gate at the
conclusion of every race. This time is the sum of the ‘car race time’ value and any ‘reaction time’
value displayed on the electronic start gate.

C1.9 Reaction time value

A ‘reaction time’ value is the time recorded from the instant the five (5) start lights extinguish to
the instant the start trigger is activated by the driver. This value is displayed in the reaction time
field on the electronic start gate.
C1.10 Project elements

These are any materials and resources that the team presents as part of its entry for any judging
activity.
C1.11 Race event

The World Finals competition includes three separate race events. These are: Reaction Racing 1,
Reaction Racing 2, and Knock-out Racing.
C1.12 Engineering drawings

Engineering drawings are CAD produced drawings, which along with relevant CAM programmes,
could theoretically be used to manufacture the fully assembled car by a third party. Such drawings
must include all relevant dimensions, tolerances and material information. F1 in Schools
engineering drawings must include detail to specifically identify and prove compliance for the
virtual cargo and wing surfaces. Engineering drawings can include: orthographic projection,
auxiliary projection, section views, isometric projection, oblique projection, perspective and
annotated renderings.
C1.13 Renderings
Renderings are images intended to illustrate the three-dimensional form of an object. These can
be generated in isometric projection, oblique projection or perspective.
C1.14 Team Digital Upload Folder

This is a team specific digital upload folder, where all digitally submitted work must be uploaded to
F1 in Schools. Each team will receive a unique link to their own Team Digital Upload Folder, which
will be provided by email directly to competing teams and ICC’s after team registration.
C1.15 Partnerships
A partnership can be defined as a collaborative relationship between organizations. The purpose
of this relationship is to work toward shared goals through a division of labour that all parties agree
on.

ARTICLE C2 – GENERAL INFORMATION
C2.1 Competing teams

C2.1.1 F1 in Schools will request that each In-Country Co-ordinator (ICC) selects teams for entry
to the World Finals event from their region. Once approved by F1 in Schools, these teams
will then be invited to compete in the World Finals by the ICC. The invited World Finals
teams will normally be the overall winner of the in-country national final, a second and
third team chosen at the discretion of the ICC to suit the In-Country competition. This
third team could also be an internal or international collaboration.
C2.1.2 Each team must consist of a minimum of 3 students to a maximum of 6. With a

maximum age of 19 years old at the first day of the World Finals event.
C2.1.3 Only members of the official competing team (maximum 6) are permitted to wear the
team’s uniform
C2.1.4 F1 in Schools will provide help to establish international collaboration teams where
needed by liaising between the relevant ICC’s. Teams nominated to form international
collaboration teams are usually runner-up or minor placed winning teams from
respective National Finals.
C2.1.5 International collaboration teams must consist of a minimum of 4 members and up to a

maximum of 6 with a minimum of 2 members from any one country (i.e. 3 countries
collaborating is the maximum) and where possible be as balanced as possible in order to
represent a fair split of team members between the collaboration countries.
C2.1.6 When teams combine to form a collaboration, a maximum of six students must be
nominated as the official competing team members. The remaining students may be
referred to as affiliated students. Regulation C2.2.3 does not apply to International
collaboration teams who have previously participated, provided the same international
collaboration team is not entered. (Please note, from 2015, students who have
previously attended a World Final as a collaboration team will be allowed to compete a
further time at a forthcoming World Final).
C2.1.7 During the competition, only the official core team members (maximum of 6) can
represent the team at registration, Pit Display set up, Scrutineering review, Verbal
Presentation, Design & Engineering judging, Project Management, Enterprise judging,
Safe/Fit to race fix, racing, on-stage presentations, competition activities and any direct
communication with the Chair of Judges or Event/Competition Directors.
C2.1.8 If a collaboration team wins an award, only the official core team members may take to
the stage and be involved in key photo, media and publicity sessions. Any trophies must
be shared between the team following the World Finals event. Only the collaboration
award will have two actual trophies associated with it. Award certificates will be
duplicated for awards won by collaboration teams.
C2.1.9 All collaboration teams must sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) document
that acknowledges the team construction, financial obligations and team member
responsibilities. This document must be signed by each team member, a school official

and the ICC as witness. This document should initially be created by the ICC. Example
MOU are available upon request from F1 in Schools.
C2.1.10 Team affiliated students are welcome to attend the World Finals but must pay the
participation fee to join in all official activities. They may play no part in the judging
assessment process as outlined in C2.1.7. Penalty points may be applied if it is felt team
affiliated students are influencing the judging process.
C2.1.11 Team affiliated students, supervising adults / teacher must adhere to C2.1.3. If a
uniform is to be worn it must be significantly different to the official core team. This is
to assist the Judges in recognising the official core students.
C2.1.12 Non collaboration teams may not have affiliated students associated with the team and
any additional delegates will only be recognised as team guests.
C2.2 Returning Students

C2.2.1 A student can only participate in a maximum of 2 World Finals.
C2.2.2 Any member of a World Finals Team (with the exception of C2.2.3), or the whole team,
may return to participate in one other World Finals event, provided they have qualified
to do so through their National Competition.
C2.2.3 After the 2018 F1 in Schools World Finals, World Champions will not be able to compete
in another World Finals event. They may however be invited to join the Judging panel at
a future World Finals event.

media handle. For example, “Infinity F1” is not allowed and should be changed to
something similar such as “Infinity” or “Team Infinity”. No team will be permitted to use
any of the prohibited word marks within their team name when participating in F1 in
Schools from 2017 onwards.
The F1 IN SCHOOLS Logo, F1, FORMULA 1, FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP,
GRAND PRIX and related marks are trademarks of Formula One Licensing BV, a Formula

C4.4 Judging process / procedure

Teams begin specification judging with a full allocation of 100 points. Any infringements of the
Technical Regulation articles, on either car, will result in points being deducted as detailed in the
Technical Regulations.
There are three (3) parts to the specification & scrutineering judging process.
A. Specifications – this is conducted within the confines of parc fermé, where the
specification Judges will scrutineer both cars and optional replacement components for

compliance to the Technical Regulations. A series of specially manufactured gauges will be

used to broadly check compliance. Accurate measuring tools, such as vernier callipers will
then be used to closely inspect any dimensions found to be near to dimensional limits per
the initial gauge inspection. Scrutineering commences as cars and optional replacement
components are submitted. During specification judging, T5.2, T5.4, T5.6 (please refer to
the 2023 World Finals Technical regulations) will be measured with a full 8g race cartridge
inserted into the cartridge chamber.
B. Scrutineering Judging (Engineering Drawings, Rendering and Quality of Finish &
Assembly) - this is conducted within the confines of parc fermé, where the specification
Judges will assess both cars and the Engineering Drawings and 3D Renders and Quality of
Finish & Assembly as per the Scrutineering scorecard.
C. Specification Review Interview – each team will be scheduled a period of time for a review
of any specification infringements ruled. The Judges will highlight to the team any
regulation infringements and provide necessary explanations. The team is then given
opportunity to explain to the Judges why they feel any identified infringements should be
considered as permissible. Following the team’s explanation, the Judges may choose to
reverse their original decision or uphold it. No further discussion will then be permitted
(refer C4.6). An interpreter can be present during the session (teams need to bring their
own translator) but no extra time will be added.
C4.5 Safe/Fit to race fix

Teams that have been judged during initial scrutineering to have incurred a regulation failure from
the list below will be provided with a special 20-minute car service time, prior to the
commencement of racing. Cars must meet these rules to be considered ‘Safe/Fit to race. If during
this service time the car can be modified so as to comply with the failed regulation(s), the team will
then only incur HALF the point’s penalty for that infringement, without being classified as having
incurred a SAFETY infringement.
T3.2 T4.4.4, T4.4.5, T5.1, T5.3, T5.4, T5.5, T5.6, T6.1, T6.2, T6.3 and T7.13

laptop and any other presentation technologies and resources. The team will inform the Judges
when they are ready to begin. The Judges start timing the 10 minute duration (20 minutes if not
speaking English and using an interpreter), and will provide a discreet time warning signal when
one minute of presentation time remains. The team will be asked to cease presenting when the
time limit has been reached. At the conclusion of the teams’ presentation time, the Judges may
choose to provide some feedback and / or ask any clarifying questions they feel necessary.

C8.5 Verbal presentation judging provisions

F1 in Schools will provide a dedicated private space, such as a small meeting room, where each
team will deliver their presentation to the Judges. This space will include a data projector and
screen, or LCD screen and multimedia sound system. These will be in fixed positions but usually
with sufficient cable length to allow teams some freedom for choosing where they wish to locate
their laptop. A single table will also be made available with its use and location in the presentation
space being optional.
C8.6 Verbal presentation video recordings

The Verbal Presentations of all teams will be used for the purpose of judging review and/or may
be used for post event publicity and promotional purposes by F1 in Schools.

ARTICLE C9 – RACING (250 points)
C9.1 What races will be conducted?

The F1 in Schools World Finals racing points will be awarded through the staging of two types of race
events:
• Reaction Racing – manual / driver launch mode, 8 races in total, 4 races in each lane
• Knock-out Competition Races – manual / driver launch mode, one race in each lane per
round of competition.
Reaction racing will be split over four two sessions of two four races. The average 'car race time'
value from all reaction races will determine the Fastest Car Award (refer C9.6). The knock-out
competition is the last of the scheduled races. Refer to ARTICLE C3.5 and further information
following for details on how points are calculated and awarded.

C9.2.1 Teams should be familiar with the operation of the F1 in Schools Race System. There will
normally be a section demonstration track within the venue where teams can practice race
starts during free time prior to their scheduled races.
C9.2.2 Manual / driver starts - One or more team members (driver/s) must be appointed for
launching of the teams’ car using the manual launch method. Each lane of the track has a
dedicated starting area 1m x 1m which shall be clearly marked on the floor. The driver
must only make contact with the floor within this dedicated area and must not touch or
lean on the track.
C9.2.3 Finish line management - At least one member of the team must be appointed as
responsible for managing the finish line Car Deceleration System or teams own system
(refer C9.11), and return of car along the track to the start.
C9.2.4 Start line car staging – one team member may be appointed as being responsible for
‘aligning’ the car. This team member is only permitted to set the alignment of the car
behind the start line, with respect to the start box and track under close supervision from
the race track Judges. Team members are NOT permitted to interfere in any way with the
Power unit cartridge or vertical alignment of the start box. This process must be completed
within a time limit of 30 seconds. Appointment of this team member is optional. All four
wheels must be in contact with the track surface after completion of the car staging time.
The race Judges can assist or perform this task for the team.
C9.2.5 Teams must ensure that both cars are race ready, a car service session will be provided
before the next race event (refer C10.2). If a teams’ car is damaged beyond achievable
repair then teams will forfeit any races that the car would have been used for.

All team members must be present during their scheduled racing sessions.

C9.4 Reaction race procedure

Cars are launched in manual / driver reaction mode during four two racing sessions, each
comprising of two four (4) races total per team, two (2) races in each lane. The TOTAL RACE TIME
displayed and the REACTION TIME displayed for each race is recorded. The reaction races will be
conducted as follows:
a) Teams race in order as shown in the competition programme. To begin racing, the lowest
team number will start in lane 1. All cars will be loaded onto the track, Car A first then Car
B
b) One team member to track finish for deceleration system control
c) Judge arms Start Box - SAFETY ON
d) Race 1 (Car A) - Judge sets cars on track / tether line and inserts Power unit cartridge –
makes initial start box adjustments
e) A team member is then allowed 30 seconds to ‘fine tune’ the alignment of their car, please
see C9.2.4 for more detail. The deceleration system must also be set during this time.
f) Driver and team stands trackside with corresponding lane start trigger
g) Judge checks deceleration system is ready, all team members to stand in designated safety
zone as instructed by track judges, track is clear for racing, team information on race
system is correct, switches Start Box - SAFETY OFF
h) Judge presses the start system reset button – cars are launched by driver pressing start
trigger
i) Judge records TOTAL RACE TIME and REACTION TIME displayed on start gate
j) Team member at finish moves car into storage zone at the end of the track
k) Race 2 (Car B) conducted in same lane as above, driver can be inter-changed as nominated
l) Team member at finish control returns car and empty Power unit cartridge along track to
the start with minimum handling
m) Judges remove cars from tether line and change lanes, team information on race system is
correct
n) Race 3 (Car A) and Race 4 (Car B), driver can be inter-changed as nominated
o) Cars removed from track and returned to Parc Fermé
C9.5 Reaction race scoring

All eight (8) ‘total race times’ recorded from the reaction races are considered. The fastest of these
eight (8) times is used in the following formulae to calculate the points awarded:
• Fastest ‘total race time’ = 105 pts
• 2nd fastest ‘total race time’ = 100 pts
• 3rd fastest ‘total race time’ = 95 pts
• Slowest ‘total race time’ = 5 pts
• Base Time = 120% of 3rd fastest ‘total race time’
• 4th fastest and all other teams score points using the following formula:
• Team Points = 5 + (90 / (Base Time – fastest ‘total race time’)) x (Base Time – teams fastest
‘total race time’)
• Any team with a best ‘total race time’ that is slower than the base time will score 5 points.
To further discriminate between any teams scoring 5 points, a deduction of 1 point will be
made for any did not finish (DNF) reaction race result.

C9.6 Time trial race scoring

The eight (8) ‘car race times’ recorded during racing will be considered. From these eight (8) races,
the team’s 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th best ‘car race times’ will be averaged. This average time is used in the
following formulae to calculate the points awarded:
• Fastest average (avg.) time = 105 pts
• Second fastest avg. time = 100 pts
• Third fastest avg. time = 95 pts.
• ‘Base Time’ = 115% of the third fastest avg. time of all teams avg. times.
• Fourth (4th) to slowest avg. time score points using the following formula:
Team Points = 20 + (75/(Base Time – 3rd fastest avg.)) x (Base Time – teams avg.)
• Any team that has an average slower than the base time will score 20 points. To further
discriminate between these teams, a deduction will be made of 2.5 points for any did not
finish (DNF) time trial result.
• If after discarding a team’s fastest time there remains less than 4 times from races finished,
due to DNF’s, the slowest time recorded is again input to the average equation until there
are a total of four times to average.
C9.6.1 Fastest Car Race Time Bonus

A 10-point bonus will be awarded to the team with the single fastest ‘car race time’ value
from all time-trial races.
C9.7 Knock-out Competition

Teams will take part in a knock-out (single elimination) competition. Teams will be issued the
knock-out competition seeding and competition bracket prior to the race event commencing. Only
the top 48 24 teams will participate in the knock-out competition.
C9.7.1 Seeding - The seeding order for the first knock-out round is determined through seeding
all teams using the average fastest ‘total race time’ they achieved from the time trial
racing event.
Cars judged to have performance regulation failures will have 0.5 seconds per
performance regulation failure per car added on to their fastest ‘total race time’ for
seeding purposes, see formula below:
𝑪𝒂𝒓 𝑨 𝒇𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒔𝒕 ‘𝒕𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆’

+ (𝟎. 𝟓 × 𝑪𝒂𝒓 𝑨 𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝑹𝒆𝒈𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔)
( )
+ 𝑪𝒂𝒓 𝑩 𝒇𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒔𝒕 ‘𝒕𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆’
+ (𝟎. 𝟓 × 𝑪𝒂𝒓 𝑩 𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝑹𝒆𝒈𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔)
𝑺𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑻𝒊𝒎𝒆 =
𝟐
During knock-out racing teams will have 0.1 seconds per performance penalty per car
added to their pre-set reaction times.
C9.7.2 Knock-out competition procedure - During the knock-out competition BOTH race cars will
be used. Cars are launched in manual / driver reaction mode, with two (2) races total, one

(1) race in each lane, for each round of the knock-out. The team with the fastest ‘total race
time’, as displayed on the start gate, from the two races conducted, is the winner of that
knock-out round. In case of a tied result, a further ‘sudden death’ race will be conducted,
this will be a repeat of race 2. The knock-out competition will be conducted as follows:
a) Teams race in order of the competition draw. Top of draw in lane 1.

b) Prior to the cars being set on the track for each round, each team will be required to
nominate which car (A or B) they will use for their first race. Each teams’ other car will be
used for the second race.
c) One team member to track finish for deceleration system control.
d) Judge arms start box - SAFETY ON – makes initial start box adjustments.
e) Race 1 - Judge sets all cars on track / tether line and inserts Power unit cartridge
f) A team member is then allowed 30 seconds to ‘fine tune’ the alignment of their car, please
see C9.2.4 for more detail. The deceleration system must also be set during this time.
g) Driver stands trackside with corresponding lane start trigger.
h) Judge checks deceleration system is ready, all team members to stand in designated safety
zone as instructed by track judges, team information on race system is correct, track is clear
for racing, switches start box - SAFETY OFF
i) Judge presses the start system reset button – cars are launched by driver pressing start
trigger.
j) Judge records TOTAL RACE TIME displayed on start gate.
k) Team member at finish moves car into storage zone at the end of the track Judges set cars
for Race 2.
l) Check team information on race system is correct
m) Race 2, driver can be inter-changed.
n) Cars removed from track and returned to Parc Fermé.
C9.7.2 Knock-out competition scoring.
Points are awarded based on the round of competition a team is eliminated as follows:
• Seeded outside top 48 = 2 pts
• Eliminated in Round 1 (33rd – 48th Seed Race off) = 4 pts
• Eliminated in Round 2 (Round of 32) = 6 pts
• Eliminated in Round 3 (Round of 16) = 8 pts
• Eliminated in Quarter Final = 15 pts
• Eliminated in Semi Final = 22 pts
• Eliminated in Final = 26 pts
• Knock-out Winner = 30 pts
C9.8 DNF (Did not Finish) race results

Damage or part separation occurring during a race, before the car crosses the finish line, (e.g. wheel
or any other part of the car separating), or a car not crossing the finish line at all, effects in a DNF
race result. The Judges may refer to video evidence to verify a DNF result.

C9.9 False Starts

C9.9.1 A false start (jump start) occurs when the driver depresses the trigger button before the 5
start gate lights have extinguished. The screen will display a false start message.
C9.9.2 All reaction false starts will incur a 2.5 point penalty and by default forfeit that race. This
penalty does not apply to knock-out racing.
C9.9.3 During knock-out racing – If one team false starts (jump starts), the other team should
continue to race as normal. The team who false started forfeits that race, scoring a DNF,
and the other team’s time is recorded. If both teams false start, the race counts as one of
the two (2) runs.
C9.9.4 During any manual / driver starts, if a driver false starts and distracts the other driver the
race will be re-run and the driver who caused the distraction will forfeit their race.
C9.9.5 Distractions outside of the race start area will be assessed by the lead track judge and
track officials to determine if the race should be re-run. All competitors must, and other
spectators will be instructed to, keep noise down to a minimum and to not use flash
photography.
C9.9.6 If a false start occurs on race 1 or 3 of a racing session or the first race of a knock-out then
the car(s) shall be walked to the end of the track and placed in the storage zone (refer
C9.11.4).
C9.10 Track, tether line and timing system information

C9.10.1 The F1 in Schools Elevated Race Track, supplied by Denford Ltd will be used. The official
length of the track, from start line to finish is 20 metres. A monofilament tether line of
diameter 0.6mm, fixed at the finish end, passes down the centre of each lane. At the
start end the line passes through 90 degrees over a single pulley then attached to a 1.0kg
mass suspended above the floor.
IMPORTANT: Teams are not permitted to add anything to the race track until 250mm
after the finish line/gate.
C9.10.2 Launch/Timing - The F1 in Schools Launch/Timing System will be used for launching cars
