DBS students in pole postition...

On Monday 16^th January, three DBS teams competed in the first ever in-house competition for F1 in Schools. Congratulations to our winning team, Team Phoenix, who will go through to the UAE Finals in May at Yas Island.

F1 in Schools is an international competition that challenges teams of school students to set up their own Formula 1 team and run it as a mini-enterprise project. We were lucky enough to have a real Formula 1 car in the school playground on the day of the final competition! [below left]

Each of our three teams had to design and build a working miniature Formula 1 car, prepare a business plan, develop a budget, create a team identity and secure sponsorship.

Congratulations to all our teams for a very exciting and highly competitive event!
