As many of you will be aware, the end of the
@F1inSchoolsHQ 2023 World Finals in Singapore marks the final chapter of Eclipseโs story, bringing our time as a team to a close. ๐
We decided to give the competition one final shot this season and we have no regrets. We won our third regional finals, and were crowned UK National Champions. At the biggest ever World Finals in Singapore we placed 6th overall, had the third-best engineered car in the world and received 2 award nominations. Although disappointed not to be on the podium, we are still proud of all of our achievements, and gained so many valuable experiences along the way and unforgettable memories.
While it may not have been the ending we always dreamed of, these achievements fill us with immense pride. Our journey was about more than just winning; it was about leaving a legacy by promoting STEM and F1 in Schools and we are incredibly happy to be able to look back and see the impact we had on our community. ๐
It will undoubtedly feel strange not having F1 in Schools as a daily part of our lives, but we are confident we will return in some capacity, most likely as competition judges. It has been an incredible journey and we appreciate all the support we have had to make it all possible. We cannot thank all of our partners enough, especially
@BAESystemsplc who have been there from the very beginning as our platinum partner.
Our last piece of advice to anyone considering being part of this competition, please do not hesitate - just do it! Dreams really do come true and you will gain life skills and memories that will be with you forever ๐๐ญ
Thank you once more, from Javier, Tom and Evie.
