Starting from zero

[Germany, 2022.] F1 in Schools gives every team the same block, the same CO₂ cartridge and the same 20-metre track. What separates the cars is design: drag, weight, and how cleanly the car leaves the start. [How the team formed, and what you had to learn first.]

Finding investors

[2023.] [Who you pitched to, what you asked for, and how Lufthansa Technik came on board.]

[The best idea was not a part. It was a rule: nothing gets printed until the simulation says it is faster.]

Building the car

The car in Fusion 360
The car in Fusion 360

[We modelled the car in Fusion 360 and ran every change through CFD before printing it. The front wing alone went through more than 40 versions.]

The German finals

[Where, when, and what qualified the team for the World Finals.]

Two weeks in Dammam

[November 2024.] Two years of work came down to two weeks of racing, judging and presenting at the World Finals in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. Team Array finished as vice world champion.

What I took from it

[One or two lessons that carry into everything since.]
