F1 in Schools North Wales Regional Competition Winners 2023-24

Thanks to Denbigh High School and Leisure Centre for hosting this year's F1 in Schools regional competition in North Wales on 31st January for primary schools and 1st February for secondary schools.

24 schools from across the region took part and the standard was very high again this year, from all the primary and secondary schools that entered. 

EESW witnessed some very creative pit displays and portfolios, in addition to some great car designs.  The knowledge, dedication and enthusiasm on show in the hall was palpable.
