Students develop, design and produce their own miniature Formula 1 cars and finally present them at a race. In order to compare aerodynamics of the cars and their rolling resistance the model-cars are all driven by CO2-capsules over a race track that is 20 meters long. The HTL-Mödling would like to take part to participate in these competitions. Due to the high costs of the original race tracks it was our task to design and produce a functional, economical race track including the measuring equipment, a starting device, a braking system, and a test car. Realization Results Information about the original racetrack was collected. A new Racetrack, including time-measuring equipment was constructed. A starting-device, with the original functionality, had been constructed and produced. The time-measuring equipment consists of one microcontroller, four light barriers, two magnetic-controls and a starting signal. A test-car was constructed and CNC-milled according to the rules of Formula 1 in Schools. The starting-device, which opens the capsules, was reconstructed. A Circuit diagram for the measuring equipment was developed. A flow-chart for every step during a race was worked out.
