HORIZON; a line that always moves forward suggesting a future full of potential and possibilities, without any boundaries, while also indicating the endless pursuit for innovation and success!
We had many ideas regarding our team logo, ranging from sketches to digitalized examples. It is also worth mentioning that Horizon Racing was initially to be called Phoenix Racing as seen in the pictures below.
The colours we have selected give us the capability to easily balance light and dark, demanding response from our audience, while also showcasing serenity and reliability.
#FFFFFF - WHITE
A colour associated to simplicity, balance and clarity
#D90000 - RED
Red connected with strength and ambition, the 'pop' of energy representing our teams' passion as well as boldness.
#000000 - BLACK
Sophisticated, elegant, authoritative adding confidence and professionalism to our
team
Horizon; where speed has no limits.
We chose this slogan because it highlights the thrill of unrestricted capabilities and breaking barriers. It conveys that there are no constraints to how fast we can go literally and metaphorically by achieving our goals.
As the team leader, his responsibility is to allocate tasks, make sure everything is moving according to plan, communicate with our mentor for feedback. He also did the appropriate research on every component of the competition in order to direct and help member of our team. As the head of the engineering department, he explored the program Fusion 360 mainly focusing on the body of the car while still assisting and supervising the technical designing of the wings. Additionally, he designed our sponsorship leaflet and portfolios.
Together with the team leader he found possible designs for the wheel support systems. Also, he is responsible for the manufacturability of the car design as well as looking into CNC and 3D companies that our team can collaborate with for the manufacturing of the car, in order to making sure everything is brought to life smoothly and in time for our team to have the best performing car possible in this year's National Finals.
He designed the front and rear wing, by experimenting with Fusion 360 along-side the rest of the engineering team. Throughout this designing process he was responsible for making sure that every aspect of the wings complied with the F1 in schools' technical regulations, balancing the teams' ideas with the constraints given by the competition to ensure the construction of two regulation-compliant wings by the team.
She is responsible for creating a projected budget analysis in order for the team to know how to manage the teams' expenses, looking-over the team's process to predict potential challenges with the budget. Also, she crafted the sponsorship leafler as well as contacted potential sponsors to answer any further questions, focusing on the packages available for interested companies. Moreover, she manages the team's social media presence, including graphic designing the posts for our team's social media platform.
Researched physics and mechanics principles such as aerodynamics that affect on F1 car and more specifically a miniature F1 car racing in a long straight track. He made sure that the digitally designed car was compliable with the physics and mechanics principles of his research, focusing on adding his input during the designing the front and rear wing by the engineering team, aiming for the car's optimal performance.
She is responsible for designing our team's merch and uniform, such as but not limited to t-shirts and sun-caps. In contact with our branding mentor, for any further feedback on new ideas concerning the creative aspect of the competition.
