What is the Formula 24 Project or F24
Greenpower Education Trust is a UK based charity which gets young people enthusiastic about science and engineering by challenging them to design, build and race an electric car.
We supply age appropriate Kit Cars, which can be built in school, college or elsewhere and raced at motorsport venues at Greenpower organised events. Alternatively, older participants can design and build their own car to our regulations. The Greenpower challenge uses the excitement of motorsport to inspire young people to excel in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM).

My participation
As a part of the VDAB’s team for this competition, our CAD class took the responsibility of creating manufacturing-ready drawings for the whole project.
What we began with was a full assembly of a sample kit car in 3D format.
Our mission
To modify the default concept according to our needs and manufacturing capabilites and optimise it with the purpose of making the fastes car out there and win the race!
My collaboration in more detail involved amongst other things:
Sheet metal parts
Cast and machined parts
