About Centauri Racing

Our journey, mission, and vision in F1 in Schools

Why Centauri?

The name "Centauri Racing" is derived from Alpha Centauri, the closest star system to Earth. After many iterations, we settled on 'Centauri Racing' as it embodies our core principle: to never stop growing and aiming higher. Just as Alpha Centauri shines brightly in the night sky, we aim to stand out in the F1 in Schools competition.

What is F1 For Schools?

F1 in Schools is an educational initiative created to spark students' interest in STEM subjects by having them design and build a miniature F1 car. This unique program, crafted for teachers with insights from engineers and backed by Formula 1, offers students an exciting and engaging pathway to STEM success, all while having a great time.
