That’s the headline in F1 in Schools recent press release about the 2011 championship. As a long time support of this organization, Siemens is excited about this event as we watch future engineers test what they’ve learned using CAD/CAM and CFD technology. Here’s a sneak peek at two of the 23 teams. These two teams used Solid Edge to design their cars. Thanks to Siemens own Armin Gittinger who is an active supporter and coach for the teams in Germany!

The Edgelings from Germany are accustom to being recognized for their design and innovation.Last year at the 2010 F1 in Schools Championship held in Singapore, the German team Aixtreme Racing brought home the overall 3rd place and the award for Innovative Thinking. Aixtreme also used Solid Edge for the design of their car. Here are a few images from their 2010 winning car.
Good Luck to all the teams, especially the Siemens’ teams. Bring home the Bernie Ecclestone World Champions trophy!
