Born from countless hours of design, testing, and pure ambition, Phoenix is more than just our F1 in Schools car—it’s a symbol of our journey, resilience, and obsession with performance. Every curve, every milligram, every micron was calculated with one goal in mind: to rise above the competition.
From the start, we approached Phoenix as a fusion of aerodynamics, engineering, and visual identity. Sculpted through extensive CFD simulations, its body balances minimal drag with maximum downforce, optimized for straight-line speed without compromising stability. But Phoenix isn’t just fast—it’s smart. We built it alongside a custom robotics-based reaction system that allowed us to fine-tune our launch with split-second precision, a key factor in every knockout round.
Behind its sleek exterior lies an intense engineering process. From wheel system tolerances to tether line guide placement, every component was revised, reimagined, and refined. We even created our own mini wind tunnel—enhanced with a humidifier—to test airflow under realistic track conditions, letting us see how Phoenix would truly perform under pressure.
But Phoenix also carries a deeper meaning. Like its mythological namesake, it represents our team’s ability to adapt, improve, and push forward—rising stronger from every setback. It’s not just the result of great engineering, but of countless late nights, last-minute redesigns, and a team that refused to settle.
Phoenix isn’t just a car. It’s who we are.
