From Regional Thunder to a national Storm : Tempest Racing

After months of designing, testing, failing, and rising again, Tempest Racing is proud to share that we have officially qualified for the F1 in Schools India Nationals. The road to this moment wasn’t easy — and that’s exactly what makes it worth celebrating.

At the regionals, we brought our A-game and left with more than just experience. We clinched 2nd place in the Knockout Championship, emerged as R&D Champions, and earned a prestigious nomination for Best Pit Display. These accolades stand as a testament to the engineering innovation, relentless teamwork, and passion that fuels our journey. But behind every trophy is a story — of late nights spent refining CAD models, of unexpected test failures turned into breakthroughs, of scrapped designs reborn as refined excellence.

Our pit display was more than just an exhibit — it was an experience. Through immersive storytelling and technical depth, we offered judges and viewers a glimpse into the heart of Tempest: where creativity meets precision, and vision turns into velocity. Our knockout runs proved our car's strength under pressure, and our R&D work highlighted the intense problem-solving that goes into every gram of our car.

But as much as we’re proud of what we’ve done — it’s what’s ahead that truly excites us.

The Nationals aren’t just another level; they’re another world. One where the competition is fiercer, the expectations higher, and the spotlight brighter. So, what’s next for Tempest?

Let’s just say: we’re not coming to play it safe.

Without revealing too much, the team has been working tirelessly on a range of bold new projects. We're talking tech that transcends the track, campaigns that reach beyond the STEM community, and a car that is already turning heads in wind tunnels. Something big is coming — and not just in engineering. Our marketing team has been in discussions with platforms and partners that could take our story far outside the competition floor. You may spot something familiar on a big screen soon. Or maybe even above your daily commute.

And there’s more: our commitment to sustainability is evolving into action. The Tempest garage is buzzing with prototypes not just designed for speed, but for impact — think e-waste, automation, and youth outreach with a twist. Details? Not yet. But we promise, it’s worth the wait.

For now, we celebrate. Not because the journey is over — but because it’s just shifting into high gear.

Stay tuned. The storm hasn’t peaked yet.
