F1 in Schools
Based at YMC – Yas Island AD – Home of the Etihad Abu Dhabi Formula One Grand Prix
Talking to day about exciting Formula One inspired competitions we run in the UAE that you can get involved in
At Yas Marina Circuit we believe that students can learn about many important things through our competitions that are related to F1 and motorsport.
Behind every champion race driver is a champion race team.
Each team member has a very important role to play.
F1 team members are highly skilled in many fields – Design, Engineering, Manufacturing, Marketing, Sponsorship, Problem solving and most importantly team work.
Each of our competitions will help you learn about these having a lot of fun along the way!
At the end of each Competition season we hold the our annual UAE F1 in Schools National Final at Yas Marina Circuit where the best school teams come together to compete for the title of UAE National Champions.
You don’t have to have these specific roles – this is just a guide and often peoples responsibilities may double up or overlap.
All team members can contribute but the graphic designer will often take the lead. Use our shirt and cap design idea templates.
