TWO MORE CHAMPIONS FI IN SCHOOLS

BRIGHTON GRAMMAR HAS CONTINUED ITS SUCCESS AT STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS.

BGS teams recently competed in the 2022/23 F1 in Schoools State Championships held at Wyndham Tech.

Approximately 30 teams from around the state attended the event with a range of events for each team such as car scrutineering, engineering presentations, marketing and verbal team presentations plus the physical car racing where the cars speed down the 25m track in 1.1 seconds.

We had 2 teams entered this year with Year 8 team Lunar in the Development Class and Year 10 team Phantom in the Senior Professional Class.

With our success earlier in the year at the 2021/22 National Finals the pressure was on and the new boys were pumped for another tough week of competition.

Both teams performed amazingly well under pressure and both have managed to qualify for the 2023 F1 in Schools National Finals in Sydney in March.

If they can finish in the top 2 at that event they could be joining Constellation and Livewire from BGS at the Combined World Finals for 2022/23 in Singapore in September 2023.

Both new teams were consistent across the 12 judging categories and each managed to win awards in a number of categories.

Well done to both teams on a great result following months and months of hard work and dedication.

Also a big thanks to our National Champions Constellation Racing for helping on each day running the track for the event.

Jenson Galvin, James Mitchell, James Tan and Matthew Westerman did the School proud as ambassadors at the event and have done a fantastic job mentoring Lunar and Phantom throughout the year.

A massive thanks to Jamie Watson and Thivi Athipar for their dedication to the program. Thanks must also be given to REA for running another amazing competition.
