Bishop Luffa School Greenpower F24 Team

In 2022 Bishop Luffa started a GreenpowerF24 kit car project team. GreenpowerF24 is an Education Trust charity based in the UK. It helps get young people enthusiastic about science and engineering by challenging them to design, build and race an electric car. Being part of the team “gives secondary school age children the opportunity to design, build and race an electric, single seater car on some of the UK’s top motor circuits. FOR 11-16 YEAR OLDS Greenpower’s IET Formula 24 category has a proven track record in engaging 11-16-year olds with Science, Technology and Engineering through participation in designing, building and competing in electric, racing cars”.

During the first year the team were extremely successful travelling around the county. The team competed in 4 Races from the Lotus test track in Norfolk to the Goodwood racing circuit in West Sussex. At the end of the season Bishop Luffa team finished 8th in the F24 kit car category, which was an incredible attachment for their first year.

The team are now into their second season and have achieved first place already in the second race of the season held at Dunsfold Aerodrome race circuit. This was achieved through team work of all involved. However, there are so many cost constraints to the team in racing the car, such as entry fees, travel costs and safety aspects.

While the team have independently raised finance through raffles, sponsorship's and selling unused machinery form our school Design and Technology Faculty. We need your help to accomplish our goal of continuing this season and growth towards a F24+ team, enabling our 6th form pupils to design, build and compete. We are hoping to raise enough funding to purchase a second car to enable more pupils to take part in this fantastic opportunity from across our partnership.

Your donation will have a great impact directly to the pupils involved in the Greenpower team and will be used to support them in accomplishing their dreams and helping them to achieve their aspirations.

Thank you for any support you can give,
