It’s been half a year since the 2016 F1 in Schools™ World Finals in Austin, Texas. This has left Infinitude with a lot of spare time.

Here at Infinitude, we are all about innovating. Trying things our competitors are too afraid to try. After all, the innovations that helped us achieve a World Record were unique to the team.

We have spent the last six months focusing on what we could do to make the team even more revolutionary and make us stand out from the crowd. Having the World’s Fastest Car wasn’t enough for us.

We are proud to be introducing our final design for the World’s Slowest Car. Months of hard work and refinements have led up to today’s release.

A subtle, yet unique design of sharp, hard edges complements the team’s brand. A completely unchanged canister hole becomes the centre point of the design, along with an elongated cut out for the tether line spans the entire length of the car, vastly decreasing aerodynamic efficiency. These are the only two features of the car design, which come as standard with any F1 in Schools Model Block. This makes it very easy for future teams to be able to replicate our success.

Hours of collaboration with some of our most trusted partners within the automotive and engineering industry has changed the way we have thought out our design strategies. Below, our engineering team discuss with Patrice Ratti, Managing Director of Renault Sport Cars, how to slow down the car in order to achieve optimal slowness.

Patrice Ratti knows a lot about fast cars, and consequently what can make them slow

Further on-track testing is required to fully determine if our car has what it takes to set the record for being the slowest car.

Stay with us for more exciting developments on our quest for the World’s Slowest Car.
