Day 1 of the F1 in Schools World Finals Singapore 2018 - live from the Resorts World Ballroom, Resorts World Sentosa, Singapore
First up we have the opening ceremony which will introduce our teams to Singapore and get the competition underway.
This is the teams first experience of racing at the world finals 2018 with 4 out of 8 races to take place today. Racing session 1 consists of 4 races, two in each lane. The teams get a chance to service their car after racing before taking part in Racing Session 2 tomorrow. The best times for each car from sessions 1 and 2 count towards the exciting and important Knock-out Competition.
In F1 in Schools racing it isn't only the speed of the cars that matters, teams need to make sure they have a 'driver' with quick reactions to launch the car as soon as the 5 lights go out. With penalty points for a false start the pressure is on! Races 1 and 3 will see the teams use their car A and races 2 and 4, car B.
